Author Description

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. Welcome to issue eighty-nine of NIGHTMARE! Who would have thought reading survey results could be so terrifying? Of course Adam-Troy Castro finds a way--you'll have to check out his latest original short ("Today's Question of the Day in Waverly, Ohio") to find out just how he does it. If you're a parent, 'Pemi Aguda's new short ("Things Boys Do"), will tap into some of your most uncomfortable, late night feelings. And don't worry: if you're not a parent, you'll still be creeped out! We also have reprints by Eden Royce ("Sweetgrass Blood") and Orrin Grey ("No Exit"). Writer Nino Cipri talks about hauntings and their connection to trauma in the latest installment of our column on horror, "The H Word." Plus we have author spotlights with our authors and a feature interview with Nicole Cushing
