Adrian Chamberlin was born in Wales in 1971, lived in Cambridge for ten years and now lives in South Oxfordshire.
He's been writing the creepy stuff ever since he could hold a pen, much to the concern of parents and teachers. For instance, the bodycount and graphic violence in his first story 'The Octopus Rises From The Deep' (St John’s Primary School, 1979) led to concerns about his choice of reading matter. He was eight years old and already a massive fan of Guy N Smith and James Herbert. Roald Dahl and Enid Blyton just wern’t dark enough for him…
His first published story was 'Lovebite', a first-prize winner in Guy N Smith’s Graveyard Rendezvous competition in 1998; his apocalyptic tale of The Rapture 'Totality' was published in the same magazine in 2000.
Since then his works can be found on the Lovecraft eZine and the following (or forthcoming) anthologies: Tasmaniac Publication’s Festive Fear 2: Global Edition; HorrorBound’s Fear of the Dark; John Prescott’s M is for Monster; Static Press’s Monk Punk; Hersham Horror’s Alt-Dead; UnEarthed Press’s Anthology of Ichor III: Gears of Damnation; Evil Jester Press's Help! Wanted!; Pill Hill Press's Epocalypse: Emails at the End (with Suzanne Robb and Ian Kobe) and Dark Continents Publishing’s The Spectrum Collection.
His first novel 'The Caretakers' was launched at the World Horror Convention 2011 in Austin Texas, and he's now working on the Lovecraftian thriller 'Fairlight' as well as co-writing the third installment in the 'Snareville' saga with DM Youngquist.
Richard Farren Barber was born in Nottingham in July 1970. After studying in London he returned to the East Midlands. He lives with his wife and son and works as a manager for a local university.
He’s fairly confident people only read these bios m to check the author isn’t a serial killer. (Spoiler alert: he’s not.)
He has over 80 short stories published, seven novellas: “The Power of Nothing”, “The Sleeping Dead”, “Odette”, “Perfect Darkness, Perfect Silence”, “Closer Still”, “All Hell.” , and “Twenty Years Dead.” His two novels are: “The Living and the Lost” and “The Screaming Dead” (Co-authored with Peter Mark May).

- Mr. D. G. MedleyReviewed in the United Kingdom on August 27, 2012
3.0 out of 5 stars Interesting explorations of death.
The "Alt Dead" anthology is a good read on the Kindle; an interesting mix of stories considering death.
Five stories caught my eye as deserving particular credit. Stuart Young's "Till Death Us Do Part" plays interestingly with alternative views on reality. Zach Black's "Running with the Dead" is a memorable vignette exploring the vitality and freedom death could offer. Richard Farren Barber's "Talk Show" uses a love of music to develop nuances of emotion in an apocalyptic scenario. Catherine Tomlinson's "The Dead Cruise" was an amusing zombie tale with some deadpan (ha, ha) delivery. Adrian Chamberlin's "Fisher of Men" gradually reveals information, building to a very effective crescendo.
As with many anthologies, readers won't like all the tales but there's some quality here. While Stuart Nield's "Mickey's Treasure" annoyed me with clumsy errors and forced figurative language, I was impressed by the work of Adrian Chamberlin and Richard Farren Barber in particular. I'll certainly look out for more of their writing.
