Nightmare Abbey 2 Scares Up More Great Terror Tales
Exploring the impact of Theodore Sturgeon’s “It,” plus new stories from Steve Duffy, Helen Grant, David Surface, and more…
The second issue of print magazine Nightmare Abbey offers readers a dozen cutting-edge terror tales by award-winning writers, plus illustrated articles devoted to retro horror in comics, film and television, all presented in an attractively produced book-style magazine.
When the first issue came out, Nightmare Abbey editor Tom English told Monster Complex about the kind of horror magazine that he wanted to create. “I wanted to publish the kind of fiction I loved reading late nights,” he told us, “suspenseful and atmospheric stories that gave me the creeps, and a slowly mounting feeling of dread. And, because I love physical books, I wanted an old-fashioned printed journal readers could get cozy with— I just feel we spend too much time with our phones and tablets.”
Nightmare Abbey 2 features new stories by Steve Duffy, Helen Grant, David Surface, John Llewellyn Probert, Gregory L. Norris, Gary Fry and Matt Cowan; reprints Theodore Sturgeon’s classic tale “It,” along with a look at how the story impacted comics; and showcases screenwriter and film historian Gary Gerani’s haunting memories of Boris Karloff’s 1960s television fright series Thriller—illustrated with dozens of photos.
Nightmare Abbey 2 also includes fabulous art by World Fantasy Award-winner Allen Koszowski, and so much more—all designed to give readers chilling winter days and sleepless nights!
The magazine is available at many online venues, with Amazon sites around the world offering the book. Brick-and-mortar bookstores will also be able to order copies.
