When volume one of Nightmare Abbey was published I remember saying that I hoped it was the first of many. I still feel that same level of enthusiasm after reading volume six. Nightmare Abbey consistently delivers top-notch horror fiction, entertaining articles, and amazing artwork.
This installment continues the history of American horror comics, and also has some great photos from one of my all time favorite classic horror movies, Night of the Demon.
A few of my favorite stories in this volume were And On That Farm by Ray Cluley in which a little girl proclaims to her step-brother that there's a monster in the barn. Nobody believes her at first but could it be true? And is there more than one kind of monster?
Black Square by Gary McMahon combines grief with terror when a child disappears under mysterious circumstances and her parents learn of similar disappearances that occurred after the victims had viewed a video from an unknown sender.
A young woman is desperate to abandon the drudgery of motherhood and everyday life for a chance at a modeling career in X For Jennifer Ann by Steve Duffy.
Report Of Animals by Helen Grant is a harrowing tale of bickering friends on a road trip gone wrong. Why are the streets so deserted? Is a car enough protection from what they will encounter in their travels?
And My Burden Is Light by David Surface finds the new pastor feeling unwelcome by his congregation. His wish for a way to ingratiate himself comes true at a terrible cost.
The Stroll by Steve Rasnic Tem is sad, scary, upsetting, and has me wondering how I can be so freaked out by the thought of taking a walk in my own neighborhood.
Highly recommended to all fans of horror, dark fiction, and tales that run towards the unhappily ever after.
My thanks to Dead Letter Press.
