I'm Kristen Lynn Albanese and I'm a Writing Arts student at Rowan University with a focus in poetry. I’m a New Jersey native but I’m not fond of the state—I’d rather be somewhere warmer. I love dark and mysterious writing that leaves your heart racing, palms sweaty, yet wanting more. I thrive off of vivid images that pull the reader's mind into the moment, as well as poems that convey heavy emotion like electricity through a copper pipe. Post-school, I plan to write poetry for enjoyment and become a certified dog trainer. |

Ken Goldman, an affiliate member of the Horror Writers Association, has homes on the Main Line in Pennsylvania and at the Jersey shore depending upon his mood and the track of the sun. His stories appear in over 515 independent press publications in the U.S., Canada, the UK, and Australia with over twenty due for publication in 2009-2010. His book of short stories, "You Had Me At ARRGH!! : Five Uneasy Pieces by Ken Goldman" (Sam's Dot Publishers) remains an all-time top ten best seller at The Genre Mall where (shameless plug alert) it can be purchased. Australia's Precision Pictures has contracted Ken's short story "The Keeper" to be filmed (hopefully) during 2010. Ken would be famous except for the fact nobody seems to know who he is. |

Was it a Dream and The Diary of a Madman A protégé of Flaubert, Maupassant's stories are characterized by their economy of style and efficient, effortless dénouement. Many of the stories are set during the Franco-Prussian War of the 1870s and several describe the futility of war and the innocent civilians who, caught in the conflict, emerge changed. He also wrote six short novels.

I work for the police department in Austin, TX taking emergency calls. I’m about to get married in Cabo San Lucas in August 2010. I have loved all things horror since I was a kid, and my family has always embraced it. I can’t tell you how many times I watched and re-watched the Thriller video as a kid. My work can be found at various ezines and in anthologies, including Liquid Imagination, Estronomicon, Aphelion, and Twisted Dreams to name a few.

Neil V. Young was born back in 19-something and raised primarily in Los Angeles. He knew from the time he picked up his first H.P. Lovecraft novel that he loved horror. So, for the past few years he has been trying to write horror and finding it very difficult to do. While he has had several sci-fi short stories published, Four Bullets is his first horror victory. For many years, Neil has worked as a tech writer in the creative departments of several major technology companies. He has a degree in Journalism but rarely uses it anymore. Neil enjoys mountain biking, playing paintball, surfing, or finding some other way to enjoy the outdoors. He currently resides in Huntington Beach, CA in a house he shares with his dog, cat, and bearded dragon. |
