Continuing to be the BEST in the Genre...

The UK's BLACK STATIC magazine has been on a roll since its first issue, and now at it's 20th it shows not only no signs of slowing down, but of getting better.
This issue's fiction features 5 solid tales, including a collaboration between Paul Meloy and Sarah Pinborough titled 'The Compartments of Hell," a fresh take on the apocalyptic thing. Nate Southard masterfully uses suggestion to make "Going Home, Ugly Stick in Hand" a memorable monster mash (literally), while Norman Prentiss delivers the quiet and quite creepy "The Covered Doll." Barbara A. Barnett's 'The Wounded House" features a woman coming to grips with some dark memories and the death of her grandmother, and Ray Culley's "At Night, When the Demons Come" is another futuristic yarn, this time following six survivors who are tormented by demons...all of them seemingly female.
The usual columns from Stephen Volk and Christopher Fowler are informative and entertaining, and Mike O'Droscoll's "Old Horrors Revisited" explains why some films that scared us as kids no longer hold up today.
There's 12 pages of Peter Tennant's amazing book reviews (I think he spends as much time on a review as it takes to read the book), which are simply the best guide for horror fiction fans on the market today, and the issue is again end-capped by Tony Lee's 10-paged DVD and Blu-Ray reviews.
I say it all the time, but here goes again: WHY aren't you reading this yet? (Subscriptions and single issue order info at ttapress.com/shop).
