Greetings SNM Readers                                                                                 

Welcome to the September to Dismember issue of SNM Horror Mag! This month we are featuring a theme of stories of mental dismemberment and suffering or anguish unto others. If you like psychological suspense horror of characters mentally slaughtering each another then this issue has some dark and savory treats for the inner glutton in you. Enjoy the cerebral assassination as our writers slay you with some cutting edge plots and twists. This issue is the cut-off for stories that will be featured in our upcoming SNM Anthology in October! This is where you the readers can really take SNM Mag to the next level by showing your support of a free magazine and keep it that way. We are brining you only our best and darkest with 16 short stories by the future pioneers of horror at its scariest. The anthology will be available for sale October 1^st and will be titled “Bonded By Blood” SNM Horror Anthology. We need sales and support as it is the only lifeblood of both the magazine and the authors. Each author shall receive royalties for every copy sold. So if you believe in our vision and want to show our authors some support for all the stories they bring to you for free and us keeping SNM Mag FREE to the public, this is the way!

*ANNOUNCEMENT: We are hosting a new section in SNM Horror Mag to introduce a new Gothic dark side to the magazine. Each month we will host a new Goth Covergirl on its own link with a brief bio and link to their site. We as a horror cult feel it’s totally relevant to attract and cross promote an underground of Goth, who darkly embrace horror and see the beauty of the dark side of life, like us. If you are an alternative model send us your hottest, darkest, bloodiest photos for consideration. The September issue will feature SNM Goth Covergirl Ravaging Rachel Grubb, horror actress and model with a classical contemporary Goth look and whole lots of personality and charm. SNM Horror Mag also darkly embraces The Satanic Sluts from the UK! Any Goth girl who is interested in being featured and promoted, email your attached photos & bio to themeeve@yahoo.com

At this time I would like to thank Crystal Adkins for bringing us 3 exclusive author interviews and book reviews. Thanks also to David Saliba who I would be lost without in helping me with the edits with both the magazine and the horror anthology. I may be the heartbeat but David is the brain and Crystal is the soul. Or, I am Simon, David is Randy and Crystal is Paula and THIS…is American Evil! Thanks especially to the readers for welcoming SNM Horror Mag in your home. The Mausoleum has been built from the grave up and the Dead are here to stay!
