Dark Matter Magazine Halloween Special Issue 2023

Contained within this anthology are dark stories and works of art that explore the shadow side of reality. They are disturbed works that journey hopelessly through the downtrodden fringes of society, across the deepest reaches of space, and into the darkest, most troubled corners of the mind. Enter if you must, but beware.

The third annual Halloween Special Issue includes ten original stories, one reprint story, an interview with author Paul Tremblay, two art features, and interior artwork by top talent.
