This is a terrific Kindle magazine. Lots of stories from writers new to the genre as well as establish authors. It includes interviews with some of the authors whose stories are in these anthologies. And you can't beat the priice! Highly recommended.

A selection of short horror stories that are always good to read. Some interviews as well if you're into those. If you like short horror reads, definitely get it.

4.0 out of 5 stars a solid issue
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2022
A very enjoyable issue. The highlight for me was a nonfiction essay by Richard Thomas, in which he discusses pacing in horror and argues his case for a slow-burn, maximalist approach. Thomas really captures the essence of my favorite style of horror, and taps into a feeling I've always had a hard time trying to articulate.

As for the fiction, my favorite of the included stories was "Synchronous Online" by Shannon Scott. An excellent story that really lingered in my mind after I'd read it. I was glued to the pages waiting to see what would happen next, and it did not go in the direction I expected at all. It highlights the stress and relative facelessness of online learning, and also the sense of boredom and apathy felt by many students and professors stuck in this format. What happens to liven things up, though... that's the heart of the story. My only complaint is minor, in that it was marred by a couple of proofreading errors that were really close together and interrupted the flow of the narrative. Other than that, a well-written and haunting tale.

In addition to the works described above, this issue includes stories by Shaoni C. White and Martin Cahill, a creative nonfiction piece from Victor T. Cypert, an in-depth book review by Terence Taylor, and two author interviews.

I'm really liking this magazine. I enjoy reading what for me are authors that I have not read or heard of before. Subscribe, you'll enjoy.

Wonderfully horror-ible short stories, interviews with the contributing authors that seem very personable, articles about recent horror and dark media, and enough courtesy to warn you when the article your about to read is full of spoilers. Love it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing about this publication's stories are interesting.
Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2019
I've received two copies/prints of this magazine (new subscription) and, upon reading each one, I found the stories to be grossly uninteresting. The characters were not worth caring about, and I found the overall writing style of the authors to be too choppy and begs to ask the question: "What in the world are they talking about/trying to convey?" Nonetheless, I will be unsubscribing to the publication.
