CHM #20 February 2022
In addition to an IN-DEPTH interview, we are quite pleased to offer the rarely reprinted Slow from Ramsey Campbell, one of my favorites from a prolific short fiction repertoire. We also offer an incredible selection of original fiction this month, including a mind-bending tale of a house between dimensions in Angler House. Then a terrifying trip aboard the train in The Last Train to Waldwick. Perceptions of reality come into question in The Zone ...
Micro Madness December 1st place
What they Don’t Tell You About Santa’s SackBy Matt Bliss1. It’s not made from the same velvety red material as his suit and hat. In fact, it may not even be cloth at all. It would be best to think of it as a living, breathing thing.

We have an incredible lineup this month. To get things started, there is something in the fog out in the unique “The Sea Like Glass.” Following, is an intimate interview and top-notch tale from weird fiction savant and Grimscribe Press founder, Jon Padgett.
