"The triumph of Everington’s first novel is that, while hinting at lofty literary precedents, it cumulatively takes on an unsettling voice all of its own." The Guardian

I'm a writer of horror and strange stories from Nottingham, England. I enjoy the unexplained, the psychological, and the ambiguous in my weird fiction, and this is the kind of story I try and write. My main influences are writers like Ramsey Campbell, Shirley Jackson, and Robert Aickman.

My latest collection of stories, 'Falling Over', is out now from Infinity Plus, as is the episodic novel 'The Quarantined City' which was recently reviewed in The Guardian.

My first book as editor, 'The Hyde Hotel' was released in 2016.

I drink Guinness, if anyone's offering.

Iain Grant is the author of numerous novels and short story collections. Since 2011, he has written more than fifty books, many of them co-authored with Heide Goody.

He can be found on all the usual social media platforms or pottering around coffee shops in South Birmingham.

Paul M. Feeney was born in Scotland in 1975 and currently lives in Aberdeen. He has been reading and watching horror, dark fantastical stories, and other speculative genre works as long as he can remember. With this deep love of story and the fantastic, it was perhaps inevitable that he would eventually turn his hand to writing his own tales, though it took him until 2011 to decide to write his first proper short story.

Since then, he has penned a number of diverse works, some of which have found homes in various small presses. His first published short (only his second written), THE WEIGHT OF THE OCEAN, was released by Phrenic Press in 2015 as a Kindle only. This was followed by a number of various other short story acceptances, through such publishers as Sirens Call Publications, April Moon Books, The Sinister Horror Company, and numerous others.

His first novella, THE LAST BUS, was released through Crowded Quarantine Publications mid-2015 (as a limited edition signed & numbered paperback; sadly, no longer in print). His second novella, KIDS, was published by Dark Minds Press mid-2016. His stories range from character and plot driven pulpy horror/SF, with the occasional dash of fantasy, to more emotive, reflective pieces. He is currently beavering away on various projects, including his first novel.

Published in early 2020 was CURSED, a Garrison Wake novelette, through Demain Publishing. This is the second Wake story to be released following THOSE WHO LIVE IN SHADOW, which appeared in the fourth issue of Occult Detective Quarterly. Wake is a shape-shifting private investigator in the city of Detroit, who often deals with cases related to the Shadow World (the collective name for all manner of supernatural and paranormal beings which exist in his world). The author has written a number of stories with this character, and intends to pursue many more, ranging from shorts to novellas and novels.

He has also begun writing quieter, emotive works (whilst still retaining genre 'flavours') using the pseudonym Paul Michaels. The first of these stories was published early 2019, in Corpus Press' In Darkness Delight: Masters of Midnight anthology. Also under this name, he contributes the occasional review for premier horror website, This is Horror.

This won two screenplay awards (Best Historical Drama / Best Independent Spirit) at the Monaco International Film Festival. In 2017 Dean directed the short film “15” for Midas Light Films. Dean has won five awards (thus far) for his script-writing and one for his directing. He was runner-up for the 2001 Sir Peter Ustinov Screenwriting Award (International Emmys) – for his script “Ghosts”. He makes his feature film directing debut in 2020 with the comedy film "Chocolate Potato".
