The call comes when Kaitlyn is at Little Star—the cafe on the corner of Third and Main—picking up lunch for the marketing team: two Caesar salads and a cream cheese avocado bagel sandwich. She answers her phone as it’s her turn to step up to the counter. The voice on the other end of the line says, This is Father Lawrence, chaplain from the Chillicothe Correctional Institution. She already knows what he’s going to say next. | ©Elena Sichrovsky.

There's a particular chill that comes from a well-told dark story, a feeling NIGHTMARE MAGAZINE-Horror and Dark Fantasy Story Podcast knows intimately. This audio edition of the critically-acclaimed digital magazine, edited by Wendy N. Wagner, transforms its written pages into a haunting soundscape. Each episode is a curated descent, presenting original short stories and flash fiction that span the entire spectrum of the unsettling. You might find yourself immersed in a classic tale of a haunted house one week, only to be plunged into a tightly-wound narrative of psychological terror the next. The authors featured are as diverse as the horrors they conjure, including celebrated award-winners and compelling new voices you'll be grateful to discover. Produced by Adamant Press, this podcast serves as a monthly audio anthology for those who find fascination in the shadows. It’s more than just an audiobook experience; it’s an invitation to explore the artistry of fear, where the timeless appeal of a campfire ghost story meets the sharp edge of contemporary dark fantasy. Settle in, if you dare, and let the latest issue pull you into its depths.
