Realms of Night Issue 5 Appears through the Veil of Darkness!

The Spring 2025 issue is now available!

Actually, this issue has been live on Amazon since April 26, but I just received my publisher copies, which prompted me to pop in here and let the world know. This issue looks amazing thanks to some striking cover art by Allen Koszowski. For people who prefer to buy directly from us, I will add some copies to our eBay store in the next couple of weeks. I also have some great horror paperbacks to post on the store.

Speaking of great horror paperbacks, the new issue is yet another celebration of the great old horror paperbacks we all love to read and collect. This issue’s fiction includes stories by Lee Clark Zumpe, C. Dennis Moore, Istaván Schaffer, and Morgan Flynn. We also have some great non-fiction from Mark Sieber, who reviews three of his favorite splatterpunk novels; Eric S. Brown interviews the bestselling author David Robbins, author of the Endworld series who also wrote horror novels for Leisure Books in the 1980s; I reviewed Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats’ musical homage to gaillo Nell Ora Blu, as well as the highly collectible Avon horror novel Malsum; and the late Al Sarrantonio is featured in the Halls of Horror.

Still only available in a perfect bound digest-sized print format. Click here to check it out!

Realms of Night Issue 4 Creeps into the Autumn Twilight!

Our Fall/Winter issue is now available!

I wanted to publish a Halloween-themed issue but we wrapped up production a little later than I hoped. So, consider this our “Noctober” issue. It’s never too late in the Fall to read Halloween stories, is it? Of course not! So here we offer a collection of companion stories by Morgan Flynn, unified by their mise-en-scène of witches, cats, candles, and paranormal happenings on Halloween night. C. Dennis Moore contributes a tale of a Halloween attraction gone wrong in his story “The Nightmare Corridor.” Non-fiction includes the usual columns: Dead Trees by Mark Sieber sharing some of his experiences as a bookseller; Cryptic Tomes featuring reviews of vintage horror novels; The Bookhunter, by yours truly, sharing my thoughts on safely storing book collections; and The Halls of Horror with bios of horror greats and cover scans of collectible paperbacks. We’re pleased to have Eric S. Brown join the roster with an excellent interview with Martin Powell, who worked on the comics adaptation of Brian Lumley’s Necroscope series. And, of course, everything is adorned with more amazing art by Allen K.

Geared toward fans of old small-press horror magazines and book collectors, this zine is only available in a digest-sized print format through Amazon.com! We’ll add copies to our eBay store in a few weeks, for those who prefer to purchase directly from us. Enjoy!

Realms of Night Issue 2 Emerges from the Dark Mists of Time!

Yes, that’s my fancy way of saying the Spring 2024 issue is now available!

This issue is published in the English language on all Amazon sites worldwide. It is also available through expanded distribution channels, opening the door for direct orders from booksellers and libraries. I plan to reach out to some real-life brick and mortar locations to get some issues of the zine on bookshelves and newsstands in various regional locations. Ask your local bookstore and help us out if you’re so inclined. Or, drop us a line and tell us about a potential outlet. I’ll do the rest!

In keeping with the spirit of the 1980s small press horror zines I knew and loved, Realms of Night remains available in a black and white perfect-bound digest-sized print format only. We may publish electronic editions at some point, but I’m not inclined to do so just yet. This issue once again features the wonderful cover art of Allen Koszowski, plus some cool interior pieces by him as well.

Click on over to Amazon.com and see all the great stuff in our new issue, including stories by Camden Brooks, Steven L. Shrewsbury, reviews by Mark Sieber and C. Dennis Moore, and all manner of mad ramblings by yours truly. Lots of great stuff for paperback horror collectors. Check it out! Tell your friends!
