Some days you wake up and think, “I need a good scare.” Luckily, you have countless options at your finger tips. To help you sift through some of those options, I present you my curated list of a few favorites.

NOTE: As a writer, certainly I think that you should be willing to pay for fiction. It helps us buy coffee to keep writing. On the the other hand, I also know that I, like everyone else, enjoy a few freebies. Each of these sites offers FREE access to horror. If you like these magazines, throw ’em a bone if they have a donate option. 😉
