Caitlin Hoffman

Cotton Candy and Graveyards

Caitlin is a little ball of neuroses morphed into human form. When not crossing social boundaries, you can find her jogging, sleeping, and writing until her brain is hollow. She has several books on the go and is editing her first, which she finished at 300 pages in grade six. Having lived in Canada her whole life, she longs for the thrill of a cross-country road-trip. Read her stories, and you give her love.

Kameron Ramos

Candy Carnage

My name is Kameron D. Ramos I was born in Jacksonville NC, I'm 21 years young I'm going to school to be a graphic designer, my girlfriend Hannah smith is my greatest inspiration, I love art, but I at one point just sort of stopped caring about drawing but thanks to Hannah its now a big part of my life. My favorite style of art is anything and everything, my heart and mind lead my pen across a paper like a tornado across the countryside.

Damon Teufel

Agatha's Broken Rabbit and Agatha

Damon Teufel was inflicted upon Southeast Louisiana in the mid-70s and was publically schooled until premature emancipation left him wandering the French Quarter of New Orleans. As such he fell into a life of putting dead flesh to the fires to feed the snapping maws of garish, bloated interlopers. Wandering, writing, and working with little continuity, the meandering muse of life always seemed to bring the boy back home to New Orleans.

Some years later, a gal by the name of Katrina tried to kill him. He survived with all but his home and his mind intact. Since then he has regrouped, recommitted himself to his muse, and begun to actually complete some of the myriad endeavors he has put off all these years.

Jim Sullivan

Aunt Kimmie's Message

Jim Sullivan was born and raised in the bustling metropolis of Racine, Wisconsin and attended college at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. It wasn't long before he grew weary of breakneck pace of life in the Dairy State and set out for the sleepy hamlet of Los Angeles.

Jim has always had a passion for writing, especially scifi and fantasy, though his work was withheld from the general public until the good people at 69fop saw fit to publish "The Little Red Book" in Menu #3. The follow-up to that story, "Aunt Kimmie's Message" is included in Menu #9. Jim is currently working on his first novel, a fantasy saga chronicling the life of a malignant demigod.

Stephanie Wytovich

Sociopath

Stephanie M. Wytovich is a senior at Seton Hill University where she is a double major in English Literature and Art History, yet lies to people and tells them she is a Creative Writing Major for shits and giggles. She plans on attending graduate school to pursue her doctorate in art history and creative writing with aspirations of teaching at a graduate level, so she can spread the disease of the horror world to her students- making them read Exquisite Corpse and watching Freddy Kruger all semester long.
