Anthology editor John Joseph Adams has raised more than $8,500 on Kickstarter to cover the production costs of Nightmare Magazine‘s first issue. This magazine will primarily feature horror fiction and will be made available in both print and digital format.

Here’s more about the project: “Nightmare will also include nonfiction, fiction podcasts, and Q&As with our authors that go behind-the-scenes of their stories. Our planned publication schedule each month will include two pieces of original fiction and two fiction reprints, along with a feature interview and an artist gallery showcasing our cover artist.”

Welcome to our Kickstarter Publishing Project of the Week, a feature exploring how authors and publishers are using the fundraising site to raise money for book projects. If you want to start your own project, check out How To Use Kickstarter to Fund Your Publishing Project.
