Much like film noir, Justin Robinson was born and raised in Los Angeles. He splits his time between editing comic books, writing prose, and wondering what that disgusting smell is. Degrees in Anthropology and History prepared him for unemployment, but an obsession with horror fiction and a laundry list of phobias provided a more attractive option. He is the author of ten novels in a variety of genres including detective, humor, urban fantasy, and horror. Most of them are pretty good.

Mark Cusco Ailes is the author of several novels including The Day The Earth Cried and Zombie Park. He currently resides in Valparaiso, Indiana and often mentions his hometown in his books. His hobbies include meeting celebrities at conventions, reading, writing, and acting. He was the drummer for the 80s heavy metal band Latem. He was an extra in the movie Moon 44, and he has been in several stage plays. In the eighties he designed haunted houses in Stuttgart, West Germany three years in a row and won two awards for best design. He also has done several radio and television commercials.

Derek Ailes is a demented post-apocalyptic science fiction and horror author serving his readers one plateful of horrific terror after another. He is the mastermind behind several horror anthologies including Musings From A Demented Mind and Catfurnado, Zombies and One Killer Doll. He recently ventured into the vast superhero universe with his first comedy/horror novel The Undead Pool.

Derek openly admits that he is a nerd. He reads comic books and graphic novels along with watching every DC and Marvel television series, cartoon, and movie. His favorite series are Deadpool, X-men, The Avengers, Superman, Batman, Flash and The Justice League.

Derek resides in the small town of South Haven, Indiana where he cranks out one horrific tale after another. His neighbors both fear and respect him, because they don't know what horror madness he will unleash upon them. He spends his weekends hanging out with horror icons and promoting his work. He is currently working on his latest horror masterpiece.

The love of zombies was in my blood immediately after watching George Romero’s Night of the Living Dead at a far too young and inappropriate age. That feeling never faded, festering for forty years before that fever finally broke and beckoned me to write my own “Great American Zombie Novel”. One story became a second. Two stories became an ongoing series.

I love comic cons, cosplay, movies and television, guns, the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the supernatural. I am a Detroit native, made my bones in the New York City area for many years, and currently reside in what the South Carolina locals call the Upstate with the two real loves of my life, my very own real-life Jude (Judy) and a certain fur baby canine named Holly—both straight off the pages of Day Zero universe.

A special thank you to my partner in crime and to everyone who chooses to support my work to ensure that my zombie universe doesn’t die a horrible death.

Grivante writes strange, squishy horror with a grin—zombie tales that make you laugh, gag, and turn the page way past your bedtime. You might’ve seen him on the back of a milk carton in the '80s, but that was probably his twin brother, Bob. They still haven’t found him. Weird, right?

He's the twisted brain behind The Zee Brothers: Zombie Exterminators, a fast-paced, gut-busting series that slathers B-movie horror in buckets of comedy, action, and the occasional inappropriate innuendo. Think Army of Darkness meets Shaun of the Dead, with a dash of The Dukes of Hazzard for seasoning.

Fans of authors like David Wong (John Dies at the End), Jeff Strand, and Rick Gualtieri will feel right at home here—assuming “home” smells like cordite, wet dog, and day-old brains.

When he’s not busy dreaming up end-of-the-world scenarios, Grivante runs Grivante Press, publishing weird, wild speculative fiction that refuses to behave.

I write the type of post-apocalyptic books I also love to read. Everyday people in terrible situations. Uplifting plots while remaining realistic. EMPs, asteroid impacts, superweapons, and zombies. Think big-budget end-of-the-world adventure movies where you come out of the theater cheering, rather than crying.

Hey Survivor! My name is Sylvester Barzey and I am a best-selling horror and fantasy author. I grew up in the Bronx, NY, lived in the smallest state in the country for a while, and then transplanted to Lawrence, GA.

I’m a military veteran with an addiction to all things horror. My overall goal is to shine a spotlight on BIPOC characters within the horror/fantasy genre. From a young age, I was obsessed with horror movies, mostly Slashers. The mythos of the “Final Girl” trope was always something that appealed to me. The act of taking someone and watching them overcome the greatest odds to be the ultimate survivor has been a strong attraction to the horror for me.

But, what I didn’t realize growing up was all these survivors were White. Seeing only one type of person rise, builds blocks within people’s minds, it causes them to think that surviving is a trait only in one race, which is far from the truth. The Black community (Black Women for sure) has survival built into their DNA. History has shown us that overcoming great odds is something Black people have always done.

Being that I couldn’t find the final girls I was looking for (There are some don’t get me wrong and they are amazing), I set out to create them. I want to produce Black heroes who overcome world-shattering events and rise above them. My goal is for people to say Catherine Briggs’ name in the same breath as they say, Sidney Prescott and Laurie Strode. It’s my mission to change horror so that my children can look at it and see themselves as survivors.
