Hey all!
I first wrote and published this story back on the original (and now defunct) NIGHTMARE WORLD website in 2003. At the time it was only the seventh story I had even written, but to this day (over 70 published short stories later) I still think it’s one of the best ones I’ve even written.
Considering this, hopefully you’ll all enjoy it too.

That aside, later this month I’ll have HUGE news for all of you about how Image Comics/Shadowline has agreed to publish the second volume of NIGHTMARE WORLD in print!
It wouldn’t have been possible without all of your combined support… so THANK YOU! Like I said, though, I’ll start dishing all of the details later this month… so watch this space.
Also, you all may be interested to know that we’ve updated the “Message Board” link to our newer and much more improved (and lively) Message Board… so feel free to swing by and join the conversations over there as well if you’d like, ya’ hear?
Finally, don’t forget that NIGHTMARE WORLD Vol. 1: “13 Tales of Terror” from Image Comics is now available at comic shops and book stores everywhere as well as through www.Amazon.com (who’s offering it at a sale price of under $12 right HERE)… so if you like the online version of our merry lil’ comic be sure to check out the enhanced print version, ya’ hear? Besides, it’s a lot easier to read NIGHTMARE WORLD on the toilet in print rather than on a laptop.
Regardless, I appreciate the numerous comments and support you’ve all been showing all of us involved with NIGHTMARE WORLD, so from the bottom of the place where our hearts should be — THANK YOU!
Considering this, if you like what you’ve been reading there’s a good chance your friends might like it too… so send ‘em a link to NIGHTMARE WORLD and tell ‘em to check us out, ya’ hear? After all, what’s cooler than being able to read great free online comics on the computer, right?
Thanks all, and enjoy this latest installment!
SINcerely,
Dirk Manning

Hey all!
For the last story we traveled far into the future and deep into space… and given that the next two stories are both going to be a bit more “crime” based in nature (including my Sherlock Holmes installment, which I personally consider one of the best NIGHTMARE WORLD stories I ever wrote) I’ve decided that we should check in on the Armageddon storyline again for this next installment.
Oh, and if you pay close attention you’ll see a familiar face or two pop-up in this one, too…

Hey all!
Welcome back and Happy 2010!
I hope you all enjoyed the NIGHTMARE WORLD: “Sneak Peek Week” we ran last week… and if you didn’t get a chance to see ‘em, well, scroll back a few days, check them out and let us know which ones you like the best with some comment lovin’!
That aside, given that we are now officially living in “the future” I figured we should take a look into the future of NIGHTMARE WORLD with our next installment of the series. So, without further ado…

Hey all!
OK… so here’s the deal.
Given that this is the Holidaze Season we’re taking a sort of “mini-vacation” this week before we start the next new NIGHTMARE WORLD story next week… meaning it’s time for another installment of NIGHTMARE WORLD Sneak Peek Week!
This time, though, we’re going to be showing off art *NOT* from four upcoming stories, but rather from four upcoming projects you’ll be seeing from me and some of your favorite NIGHTMARE WORLD artists in 2010!
Cool, eh?
If you like what you see be sure to leave some comments below to let us know… or connect with us via Twitter, Facebook or MySpace to spread the love, ya’ hear? (You can find me at all three by searching for “Dirk Manning,” natch!)
Thanks, everyone, and enjoy NIGHTMARE WORLD: Sneak Peek Week.
Oh… and if you have $12 left on your Amazon.com gift card you got for the Holidaze swing over HERE to get a copy of NIGHTMARE WORLD: “13 Tales of Terror” Volume 1.
Thanks again!
SINcerely,
Dirk Manning
