Bête Noire
Tuesday, June 7, 2022 14:02 GMT. There is movement on the pathway for the first time in 113 days, six hours, four minutes, and five seconds. My motion sensitive cameras flicker on. I see Maker. Maker is not alone. | © 2023 by Lynette S. Hoag. Narrated by Justine Eyre.

The Curse of the Boto Boy
Even before my son was born, my village had made of me a black sheep. When I was young, I would slither between the grasp of the Elders and flitter into the jungle unabated. I would storm past the hills of fire ants to leap atop the trunks of fallen trees before catching ahold of a veritable vine like some kind of red-assed macaco. I did not see the forest for all its dangers then—the poison-skinned amphibians, the venomous vipers. | © 2023 by Woody Dismukes. Narrated by Roxanne Hernandez.

Waiting for Jonah
Once upon a time, there was you and there was Jonah. “Jonah!” you would call out. “Jonah, it’s me! Let me in!” But he’d never let you in. Before you turned ten, the inside of Jonah’s room remained as opaque as the inside of his thoughts. And he would always, always make you wait. You’d stand there, bouncing on your toes. | © 2023 by Sharang Biswas. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki & Terence Taylor.

The Cello in the Cell
Dear Andy: The day I was arrested, someone bought the winning Powerball lottery ticket that was worth 1.2 billion dollars. I remember dreaming what I would have done if I had won. You might not believe me, but I’m being serious here. © 2023 by David Janisch | Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki.

The Sound of Children Screaming
You know the one about the Gun. The Gun goes where it wants to. On Thursday morning just after recess, the Gun will walk through the front doors of Thurman Elementary, and it won’t sign in at the front office or wear a visitor’s badge. © 2023 by Rachael K. Jones | Narrated by Susan Hanfield.

The Ascension of Magdalene
It felt a little like f*****g. Reminded Magdalene of the first time she’d ever let a boy get a hand up her skirt, long before Ben but he didn’t know that, she wore white on her wedding day. Couldn’t even remember his name, that boy, just that he’d died in The War. | © 2023 by Donyae Coles. Narrated by Janina Edwards.

Customer Reviews
EDIT
I’ve really gotta give these folks some credit. They listen to their to their listeners. Brava.
Quality of narrators is just stellar. As for the stories themselves, lately I find them to be more tearjerker than horror. Which is a pretty nightmarish mixed bag for me, so…spot on?
Top Notch Horror Stories
I love everything about the Nightmare Magazine Podcasts! From best selling authors to indie and under-rated authors…they have a little something for all horror fans!!
Love if my life.
My favorite podcast. I’ve listened for years. The calm spooky ambience is deeply atmospheric and is great for first calming the nerves and then getting the blood pumping as things ratchet up.
Seriously I’d be lost without Nightmare. Check out their website. They have more audios and short stories. The best anthology pod you can find. The stories are beautiful and the va are a league apart.
Side note: I’m glad the mag is getting some sponsors. Here’s to hoping they put the ads at the end to not interfere with the setting of the scene. (Or off the bat would work, as long as it doesn’t interrupt the flow of calming energy)
