Nightmare Magazine 42: March 2016

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 John Skipp ("Bringing Out the Demons") and Sandra McDonald ("The Modern Ladies' Letter-Writer"), along with reprints by Nancy Holder ("Lady Madonna") and Charles L. Grant ("When All the Children Call My Name"). We also have Orrin Grey bringing 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 director Josh Boone.
"I pull up in front of Stanley’s four-story Los Feliz apartment building at 2:57 ayem Angie and Jack are already out front: Angie pacing, a furious smoke in her hand. Jack smiles thinly, salutes as I block the grade school playground driveway next door (the only available parking left), leaving enough room for the back doors of Jack’s van to load in if need be. “Motherfucker,” I mutter, hitting my blinkers and climbing out. It takes everything I have not to slam the door behind me. Then over the thin strip of lawn to the sidewalk, and straight into Angie’s arms. We hug hard, almost hard enough to break bones. The night is crisp, but our blood is boiling through our skin. I kiss the nape of her neck she’s far taller than me and she kisses the top of my head. It’s not sex. It’s solidarity.
