HORROR GARAGE began as a print magazine that combined the best in original dark fiction with the finest in horrific rock n’ roll.

During its twelve issue run the phrase "HORROR GARAGE" became more than just the name of the coolest dark fiction mag in Hell; people began using the term "HORROR GARAGE" to describe an approach to all things...uh... horrible. HORROR OF PARTY BEACH, PSYCHOMANIA and DEATH RACE 2000 all come to mind. So do B-movie babes, screamin’ skulls, bug-eyed creeps and gallons of blood. It's all about thinking outside the (pine) box.

The twelve print issues featured (in alphabetical order): Spencer Allen, Tom Alexander, Pete Butler, Sara Joan Berniker, Joel Betancourt, Michael Boatman, Terry Bramlett, M. Christian, Peter Crowther, Michael Davidson, Mitch Earleywine, Elizabeth Engstrom, Dennis Etchison, C.A. Gardner, James Gallagher, J.C.
