Dark Moon Digest is continually a source of great Horror fiction and non-fiction.
I really enjoyed the stories here, but I must say that Fluttering by Sipora Coffelt got under my skin in a way I hardly get to experience. Nicely done, Sipora!
Up and Coming was a very well written completely new take on the "Invasion" story.
Also, the interview with Stephen Graham Jones by Tyler Jones was very insightful.
Like I said before, everything in this issue is good. I enjoyed it cover to cover.

I received this from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This was a pretty good collection of short stories by horror authors. I enjoyed the stories, and I believe that the authors have some talent. 'That's The Price You Pay' was probably my favorite story in the collection.

Here lies some first rate, freaky, creepy, fiction. Which begs the question, if this is issue #22 where can I get my hands on the first 21? Because I want them all and so will you.
If you like short horror stories you will love these.
In "Late Fee" A spurned lover gets more than he bargained for when he wanders into an old timey 80's style video store. "Horror Junkie" is a tale of best friends and roommates who share an affinity for horror movies until one of them gets a bit too extreme.
"Room 207" is probably best left alone but a man on his way to surprise his wife makes a quick stop-over at a motel and lets his curiosity get the best of him. In "Drummer Boy" a happily married couple who have been trying to conceive find an antique toy that may bring them luck. Of course not necessarily good luck....
"The Seventh Date" is a tale of a love spell gone wrong.
"That's The Price You Pay" is a story of a shop owner and the strange curios for sale in his antique shop, though there is no charge to see the main attraction in his store.
"Ion Dissonance" is a story of a young man who can't quite tell where dreams end and reality begins.
In "Girl Six' an interrogation takes a very strange turn. All in all these stories were quite unnerving!
I received a complimentary copy for review

The fiction in this issue is especially strong. I found something to enjoy with every story. A couple were quite emotional (such as The Zip-Top Sandwich Bag Exorcisms by Oscar McNary which had a couple of really good, well-realised main characters, and Little Fawn and the Big Bad Tiger by John M. Turner which has a young protagonist dealing with a really difficult family situation, and a horrific and chilling conclusion). The Mind of the Unbound Prometheus by Nick Kolakowski will have you immediately thinking about Frankenstein, before going in a mind-bending direction. As Well As the Infirm by Scott Beggs uses the inequality of the organ transplant system as a backdrop to a tense story about how far one newly qualified doctor will go to do the right thing. The Orchid Room by Tanya Aydelott was probably my favourite of a strong bunch, with a great narrative voice and a strong message, and very entertaining.
One piece of non-fiction spoke to me more than the other. But I can see how they would both appeal to a broad spectrum of horror fan. Just as this magazine continues to do with each issue.
