Hope Darby Writings

Making words work.

What with spook-season being just around the corner (not to mention my favorite time of year), I present to thee, Noctem Aeternus:

It was a one-off horror magazine published in .PDF format, downloadable and free. Its first, and to my knowledge only, issue was in January 2008, and available here.

 

Far from your typically tame horror tales, the stories told in this magazine really do their job. Goosebumps, prickly skin, staccato heartbeats, and the occasional, “What was that??” jump when the cat crosses your peripheral vision, are all side-effects of indulging in the horror-bly superb pages.

 

Just don’t be a chicken. Turn off the lights, save one lone lamp for reading, and do it right. After all, what’s the point in reading something scary if you aren’t prepared to be scared?
