Dustin LaValley

Dustin LaValley lives in Upstate NY, he likes bubble wrap, and has a dog named Chino. He writes short fiction, which has been described as: daft, bizarre, and surreal. Some of his work can be seen in Sick: An Anthology of Illness, Fusing Horizons, and ChimeraWorld 2. His interests (besides writing) include martial arts, biking (BMX and mountain), and the hardcore/metal scene. Dustin also proudly owns all of his colon and intestines. Therefore, he does indeed suffer from Ulcerative Colitis. Due to this illness, he attends school on an irregular basis. Studies of preference are of philosophical, psychological, and sociological nature.

Mark Frost

My name is Daniel McCreary, but I have been writing poems and short stories under the pseudonym Mark Frost since I was fourteen. I have always enjoyed off-beat and bizarre stories and hope to show my appreciation by contributing to the surreal genre. I was born and raised in Albuquerque, New Mexico and for the last seven years have resided on Okinawa, a small island south of Japan. I am twenty-six years old.

A D Dawson

A D Dawson writes from the heart of Sherwood Forest. He has regularly contributed to The Dream Zone magazine, Dream People, Terror Tales…etc and various anthologies. Dawson’s tale, “The Nutter on the Bus” is included in the groundbreaking anthology, Sick: An Anthology of Illness.

As graduate in literature, the writer, A D Dawson is fascinated by the story telling of the Victorian writers. Dark gothic tales, such as Emily Bronte's "Wuthering Heights" (1847), fuel his imagination with their foreboding corners and shadows. Furthermore, the Victorian ghost story, such as Henry James' "The Turn of The Screw" (1898) and Margaret Oliphant's various short tales of the unseen, bring to him a world that is haunted by a sense that the living and the dead, the past and the present, the banal and the bizarre... are divided by no more than a whisper. It is from this world that Dawson draws his inspiration for his own tales...

Kemarie Kurtz

Kemarie is just a girl from outside Philadelphia, PA. She lives a small life in a small house and thinks big dark thoughts in the middle of the night that sometimes work their way into poems and fiction. She's never actually had her work appear anywhere before, but one of her poems has been accepted for the first issue of Bloodcookies. She attributes all the good writing she's ever done to her eleventh grade English teacher, Mr. Hoffman, who was the only person to ever actively believe she could get somewhere with her mad writing skills.

Charles Richard Laing

I am a 41-year-old resident of New Jersey. I'm an ex-bookseller. Now I'm waiting for the Lottery Gods to answer my prayers while I write. My interests include sleeping and baseball.

My work has been published in the anthologies Sword & Sorceress XVII and Cyberpulp Halloween 3.0, and in print magazines like Marion Zimmer Bradley's Fantasy Magazine, Flesh & Blood, and Not One Of Us, and online at Horrorfind, Shadowed Realms, and Alienskin.

Alyssa Sturgill

Even though Alyssa has been writing for years, nobody has ever heard of Alyssa. Perhaps Alyssa keeps a low profile. Perhaps Alyssa is mysterious. Or perhaps Alyssa's writing just sucks. Alyssa's work has been features in a paltry few publications: The Dream People (thrice!),Gothic Fairytales, The Isis Papers, Speaking in Lungs, The Whetstone, The Random Stain, her chapbook Girlskin, and the anthology A Kick in the Nuts, available now from Bizarre Ebooks. She writes bizarre horrror with a fixation on twisted permutations of the flesh, furniture fetishes, and of course, BLOOOOOOOOD. She is currently in the process of editing her soon-to-be released book of short stories, Spider Pie, which was a finalist in the Eraserhead Press First Book Contest. She really doesn't know how to write a screenplay properly, but not being able to write has never stopped her before so she has several screen atrocities in the works.

Alyssa is a cult movie fanatic and aspiring filmmaker, obsessed with David Lynch, Takashi Miike, Dario Argento, and above all, TROMA MOVIES. So, naturally, she just couldn't do a webzine without demanding her own movie review column. ;)

She makes veils, falls, and lovely gothic accessories, but only for herself since she is too stupid to try to make money at it. Her fashion idols are Tank Girl, Malice Mizer, and Kakihara from Ichi the Killer.

Bookwise, she likes Steve Aylett, Chuck Palahniuk, Poppy Z. Brite, and assorted bizarre, obscure writers.

Kurt Newton

Kurt Newton's writings have appeared all over the literary map. One second he's kissing a baby, the next second he's flaying it alive. There are medical terms for his condition. Just be thankful he chose writing as a means of self-expression.

51 years of age, born in King's Lynn, England, and now lives in Minneapolis Minnesota. With friends Tom Clarkson and Barret John Erickson, he produces an irregular surrealist publication called "Blue Feathers" and also musical projects of an "undefined" quality. "Poetry is the main by-product of an obstructed colon minced in a cosmopolitan fashion, and acid-stressed to bring out highlights."—- Therman R. Rugport
