"I recently purchased Dark Tales 4 and was immediately impressed by the quality. The magazine looks and feels special, and I can see that it has been lovingly put together; I particularly liked your use of small, and illuminating, multiple illustrations.."

"A prescription of fear for the midnight reader. Best consumed in moderation, like fine wine.. Please share responsibly."

To herald the start of our second year of publication we thought we'd ring the changes...

Jason Harootunian provides what will hopefully be his first of many cover illustrations for us, and William Aksell debuts in Dark Tales with his excellent interpretations.

There's also our largest amount of stories in one issue so far, plus our first article, which is chilling exactly because it is non-fictional.
