The HorrorZine, (www.Horrorzine.com) was started in July of 2009 by founder and editor Jeani Rector. It supports and promote writers, poets, and artists and receives about 100,000 hits every month.

Founder Jeani Rector is a writer herself, and would submit her fiction to online magazines. Then in 2008, the recession, and online magazines began folding one after the other. She decided she needed to do something about losing these online ‘zines.

She took a website class in Adobe Dreamweaver, and created her own online magazine specializing in horror, mystery, thriller, and speculative fiction. Not knowing what to name this new online magazine, she chose “The Horror Zine” in the hopes that these were frequently “googled”. As people searched for “horror zine” or “horror zines”, The Horror Zine became an instantaneous hit world-wide!

Fear casts a long shadow, and shadows take many shapes. From the award-winning The Horror Zine comes a wicked brew of spine-tingling fiction. Featuring never before published works from best-selling authors such as Bentley Little, Yvonne Navarro, Scott Nicholson, Melanie Tem, Elizabeth Massie, Earl Hamner, Simon Clark, Cheryl Kaye Tardif, Ronald Malfi, Lisa Morton, Jeff Bennington, JG Faherty and many others, this amazing collection of works also includes a Foreword from Joe R. Lansdale.

And now the “best of the best” finds a home in the book SHADOW MASTERS: AN ANTHOLOGY FROM THE HORROR ZINE published by Imajin Books. From classic horror and exciting suspense to Twilight Zone-type speculative fiction with twisted endings, THE HORROR ZINE brings stories that delves into the darkest corners of our nightmares and delivers the shivers.

Ten Scary Minutes would like to thank Jeani for mentioning us in her ‘zine and we look forward to bring you the best in scary fun!

Till next time, no nightmares!
