Brent R. Oliver read ‘Salem’s Lot when he was twelve and blames Stephen King for pretty much everything that happened after that. He has been the victim of irony, repossessed morals, and harsh language. The nine-to-five grind has rejected him and the bank has foreclosed on the tiny little haunted house that is his brain. This bio was penned from his favorite neighborhood bar because his power was shut off and it’s cheaper to buy beer than electricity.

Mr. Oliver writes creative nonfiction as well as tales rooted in glorious darkness. His essays and articles have been featured across a broad spectrum of online and print media including FIGHT! Magazine, Business Lexington, and Tricycle. In July of 2014, his first short story “One Shot,” was published by horror-writers.net. He lives in Lexington, KY with his amazing wife Stacey and a mostly underwhelming cat.

Dale Elster is a horror and dark fiction author living in upstate New York with his wife and two children.  A chef for over 20 years, Dale was forced to retire due to medical reasons, thus moving his lifelong passion for writing to the front burner.

His house may or may not be haunted.

But it probably is.

Jason’s fiction is born from darkness, finding its home everywhere from the supernatural and surreal, to the all-too-real iniquity of the human condition.

It was an EPIC finalist in “horror,” was named runner-up in the “Best Horror” category in eFestival’s Independent eBook competition and has been named to several “Best of” lists for horror.

Rhoads lacks his wife’s classiness, his son’s genius, and his house cat’s fearsome nature. His life is a simple one, Rockwellian with a touch of morbid fancy. Rhoads transcribes his dreams into prose and shares them with the unsuspecting. Somehow, his work has seeped into this anthology and other unknowing venues, including: Apex Magazine, Stupefying Stories, Gaia: Shadow & Breath Anthology, and Death’s Realm Anthology.

Hunter Lowe is a 27 year old writing enthusiast currently residing in Los Angeles, California. After chasing the tails of a variety of passions including classic hand-drawn art to digital illustration and three-dimensional construction geared toward use in video games he realized he could never shake the constant drive from within to continue his writing. His time spent experimenting with such a variety of art forms lead to a stronger visual library for him to integrate into his writing. While working on his novel he loves to step into the short-story environment and intends to put out as many quality reading experiences that he can. While horror is where he is most at home, he has a number of stories in the works ranging from science fiction, fantasy, to amalgamations of all of the above.  He will soon be relocating to the lovely state of Colorado to continue his writing in a nice secluded forest.
