Unnerving Magazine #issue 4 Extended Halloween Edition

Unnerving Magazine is a relatively new quarterly magazine of horror, dark fantasy and dark sci-fi. It's really dark! So if you love horror and all things creepy then this is the magazine for you. I've read a few issues now and loved everyone of them so far. I also want to point out that Unnerving have a great deal on right now. You can subscribe to this magazine for a whole year for just $10! For that price you get to read some amazing stories and help support indie horror. When I subscribed I got a free ebook called Alligators in Sewers which looks really cool, I can't wait to get stuck into that.

My story, I am Witch, will be featured in issue two which comes out October/November 2017. Like with Apparitions, issue two will be themed around banishment. This is such a great magazine, a lot of love and dedication is put into this. I implore you to invest in the paperback version which is printed in full cover and features amazing artwork.
