Edited by Wendy N. Wagner, NIGHTMARE is a critically-acclaimed digital magazine of horror and dark fantasy. In its pages, you will find all kinds of horror and dark fantasy, from zombie stories and haunted house tales, to visceral psychological horror.

When you read NIGHTMARE, it is our hope that you'll see where horror comes from, where it is now, and where it's going.
