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. Every month NIGHTMARE will bring you a mix of original short stories and flash fiction, and featuring a variety of authors: from the bestsellers and award-winners you already know to the best new voices you haven't heard of yet. 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. The NIGHTMARE podcast, produced by Grammy Award-winning narrator and producer Stefan Rudnicki of Skyboat Media, features original audio short stories and poems 3-4 times a month.

The Museum of Cosmic Retribution
Haw Par Villa in the rain was a splash of garish color. The dark red footpath, glistening wet. The ornate tiered gate that greeted visitors with a carving of a tiger, etched in gold and blue. | © 2024 by Megan Chee. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki

The Dark Devices
At the tiny abbey in the province of Tasselt—the only abbey in the region with both an abbot and his monks and a dozen nuns as well (a temporary matter that had somehow become permanent)—the abbot, whose skin had gotten paler even as the veins beneath it had become more pronounced, and who preferred darkness to light of any kind, had taken over the West section of the abbey, with its many, darker rooms. | © 2024 by Bruce McAllister. Narrated by Stefan Rudnicki.

Customer Reviews
New narrator is awful
Justine Eyre’s voice is like nails on a chalkboard.
Love of 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)
Excellent!
The best horror podcast ever. Not corny like the rest. Well written. Impressive.
