Interviews with an artist who makes spooky book covers and another who makes horror ornaments, musicians who compose creepy tunes, and haunted fiction are just some of what you’ll find lurking within the pages of Horror Curated, a new digital horror mag from HorrorAddicts.net.
The first issue, “Haunted Holidays,” released in November and is a glossy, 48-page full-color scroll fest of creepy, haunting interviews, articles, and even crafts! Do you know how to make a haunted holiday lantern? Well, with a haunted craft guide curated by Kate Nox, she lays out all the supplies and steps you’ll need to make one! (And let me just tell you that ever since he saw it, Smalls has pestered me to take him to Michael’s and pick up everything we don’t already have at home to give it a go!)
Let’s take a closer peek, including where you can buy a copy and how you can enter to win a free upcoming issue.
Horror Curated: Haunted Holidays Innards
If you think the cover is slick, it just gets better when you venture inside! The “Innards,” as they’re called, are visually stunning and contain everything from fiction, poetry, and Dead Mail (where readers can share photos of their horror lifestyle or ask questions about how to enhance it) to movie, music, and book reviews. There’s even a classifieds section!

Horror Curated’s Next Issue
When you scroll to the very end of the “Haunted Holiday” issue, you’ll get a glimpse of the cover for the next themed issue, “Bloody Tea.” Which, you may not think “tea” and “horror” could go together, but that’s the brilliance of HorrorAddicts.net. No one does horror as spectacularly, or as innovatively, as they do. Horror Curated is just another example of that!

Have you indulged in any spooky fun this holiday season?
Courtney Mroch is a globe-trotting restless spirit who’s both possessed by wanderlust and the spirit of adventure, as well as obsessed with true crime, horror, the paranormal, and weird days. Perhaps it has something to do with her genes? She is related to occult royalty, after all. Marie Laveau, the famous Voodoo practitioner of New Orleans, is one of her ancestors. That could also explain her infatuation with skeletons.
Speaking of healing, to learn how she channeled her battle with cancer to conjure up this site, check out HJ’s Origin Story.

Courtney, do you know if they are looking for short story authors? I have written and published two frightening novels (Stephen King-like), available at all book stores, and I have been putting together a collection of haunting and bizarre short stories for a compilation novel. Do you know if this magazine would like a submission or two of excellent short stories? I can write with the best of them.
I don’t know, Troy, but I’m sure if you go check out both http://www.horrorcurated.com and http://horroraddicts.net/ you can see if they’re accepting submissions. (I want to say HorrorAddicts.net is pretty open to submissions all the time, but I’m not 100% about that.)
Thank you, Courtney.
