Welcome to issue seventy-nine of Nightmare!

Our first new original short is from Mari Ness: “The Girl and the House.” It’s a story guaranteed to make you think differently about gothic novels. Dennis E. Staples gives us a most unusual heart condition in his new short story “The One You Feed.” We also have reprints by Priya Sharma (“The Ballad of Boomtown”) and Stephen Gallagher (“Shepherds’ Business”).

Kevin J. Anderson talks about the marriage between humor and horror in the latest installment of our column on horror, “The H Word.” We also have author spotlights with our authors, and a media review from Adam-Troy Castro.
