Nightmare Magazine 19: April 2014

NIGHTMARE is an online horror and dark fantasy magazine. In NIGHTMARE's pages, you will find all kinds of horror fiction, from zombie stories and haunted house tales, to visceral psychological horror.
This month, we have original fiction from Dale Bailey ("Sleep Paralysis") and Martin Cahill ("It Was Never the Fire"), along with reprints by Nancy Etchemendy ("Nimitseahpah") and Lucy A. Snyder ("Magdala Amygdala"). We also have the latest installment of our column on horror, "The H Word," plus author spotlights with our authors, a showcase on our cover artist, and a feature interview with bestselling author Darren Shan.
"I am subject to dreams, especially one of a curious type in which I wake on my back, unable to move, my arms pinned to my side, my legs straight. My paralysis is complete, and a thick darkness pervades  my bedchamber, a darkness of an almost viscous weight, so that I can feel it pressing upon my face and bearing down against the bedclothes. And there is something else, as well: a sense of obscure doom falls upon me. Something worse than death I am an undertaker, accustomed to death; we are old friends, death and I though what it is, I cannot say or guess."
