| Daniel Karasik is a young writer from southern Ontario, Canada. He has tried a ridiculous number of times to write something Mainstream—-capital M—-but has always managed to stray back into the realm of the just-off-center. His work has appeared or will soon appear in Whistling Shade, The Ultimate Hallucination, The Dream People, and an upcoming Web-stories.net anthology. While younger than most readers expect (he is about a year short of his driver’s license), Daniel writes from the gut; that is, that magical place lodged in between the spleen and the editor’s slush pile. When his gut fails him, he writes from the gutter.. |

Alyssa Sturgill first knew she wanted to be a writer when she read one of her poems in a poetry class and realized by the other students' expressions that they were torn between making a run for it, praying for deliverance, or calling the police. The highlight of Alyssa's life was when she once walked into the grocery store and a man crossed himself upon seeing her. |

The author is alive. (Sometimes I wonder.) He lives alone inside a mind threatening to cave in on itself. A daydream junkie, improbable fantasies are his stalk in trade; like imagining finding a publisher who will pay for his work. He is most profound when profoundly asleep. Nothing gets finished. The author may be lazy. Two things he says most often to himself: "Did I write that?" or "Where could I have stolen that from!" |
