Attention: Blind Hunger Fans

For fans of Araminta Star Matthews' zombie apocalypse novel, here is some great news. Matthews will be writing a 4-part serial paraquel to Blind Hunger beginning with Issue #6 of Dark Moon Digest. "The Warehouse" will tell the story of Sage's friend, Amanda, and how she and her friends manage to secure themselves in the warehouse--the very same warehouse to which the crew of Blind Hunger is fleeing at the end of the novel. Will it still be there when they arrive? Just another great reason to look forward to future issues of Dark Moon Digest. And, if you haven't read Blind Hunger yet, check it out. It is available at most online bookstores including Amazon and Barnes & Noble. (Kindle and Nook versions are also available.)

Attention Authors!

If you are interested in writing for Dark Moon Digest, we strongly encourage you to purchase an issue to see what kinds of stories we are inclined to accept. We receive hundreds of submissions each week and only select 6 to 12 for our publication every quarter. If you want to make it in, you should get to know us a little better. You can easily purchase a copy at Amazon and most other online bookstores.

What They Are Saying

About Dark Moon Digest

Critics Agree: New Horror Quarterly Is A Real Killer!

The stories were first rate, with a level of talent that I had not expected, and the other features were both amusing and well written. I would say this is a MUST for any fan of horror!

I've been an avid reader of "Weird Tales" for a long time, but was looking for something more to satisfy my hunger for good horror short stories. Well, this magazine has accomplished that in a big way.

The first issue was pretty good. The second issue is outstanding. Kevin McClintock's first installment of 'Tenants' is powerful. I think this guy is going to be very big very soon.

Each issue keeps getting better and better -- better writing, better art, better direction. The stories range from scary to hilarious and there's quite a range of artistic talent and creativity in the magazine's contents. Plus, unlike some smaller presses I've read, there's a good deal of emphasis done on proper editing! This is a professional work. I'd recommend anyone picking up a copy and becoming a fan.

I really love this series. The writing is some of the best and most diverse you will find in the horror genre. Truly the best digest, magazine, book of it's kind. I recommend that anyone who loves horror or just great writing get on board.

The spirit of DMD is definitely modern and makes free use of adult situations and dialogue, yet something about it reminds me of the classic horror I enjoyed as a teen.

This is Classic Spookiness in a book. Like "Tales from the Crypt" or "Tales from the Darkside". There is some serious talent in here.
