Our non-fiction contribution comes from Tracy Kuhn who takes exception to the theory that Horror is for Boys. Winter wouldn’t be complete without a Christmas story, but in Demon Darkling author Dana Wright provides more red than Santa’s suit. Sailing holidays will never be the same once you’ve visited Julia Kavan’s Safe Harbour, where reality and nightmare lap at the shore. Steve Emmett – that’s me 😉 – takes us to the German countryside in Head of the House, a simmering and atmospheric tale of sweet revenge. Jake Swan provides a warning to the desperate in There Are Worse Things Than Loneliness. Talking of savage work, we have two very different twists on The Ripper theme in Paul Holbrook’s short story, Chain Me Not in Heaven, and a poem from Anthony Crowley.

Marc E Fitch rolls up his sleeves for a bit of Savage Work. Matt Harrah asks Burning Questions in his flash fiction winner, and Jake Sheridan reveals what glides down mountains full of sin in his distinctive, The Voice. Bestselling author Rupert Smith talks about his first horror novel, GRIM, and the importance of community in tales of the mysterious and macabre. Nearly thirty thousand carefully crafted words from some of today’s most promising horror writers. Open the pages of this first issue of Massacre Magazine and release a plague of darkness.
