Thom Carnell's fiction has been featured in Carpe Noctem Magazine, the horror anthology, Bloody Carnival from Pill Hill Press, Swank Magazine, in his novels, No Flesh Shall Be Spared and No Flesh Shall BE Spared: Don’t Look Back, and in the short story collections, Moonlight Serenades, A String of Pearls, and the upcoming, Tuxedo Junction. As a journalist, his interviews and profiles can be found in Carpe Noctem Magazine (for which he served as Head Writer and Creative Consultant), Fangoria Magazine, Dread Central.com, Twitchfilm.com, and a number of podcast available at his website.

“…No Flesh Shall Be Spared trumps pretty much every summer action movie released over the past few years in terms of muscular, rambunctious fun.”
~ Fangoria

T.J. Tranchell

T. J. Tranchell was born on Halloween. His stories have appeared in Red Rock Review, Despumation, Mad Scientist Journal and elsewhere. With Michelle Kilmer, he co-edited GIVE: An Anthology of Anatomical Entries for When the Dead Press. His novella Cry Down Dark and collection Asleep in the Nightmare Room are available from Blysster Press and wherever books are sold. In 2020, Giles Press will release Tell No Man, a novel about Mormon exorcists. Tranchell is also a freelance editor and journalist.

“[Cry Down Dark is] a beautiful story about the loneliness and pain left in the wake of loss. If you enjoy atmospheric mysteries, small town oddities, lost loves, and traumatized people attempting to gain redemption, then this is the book for you!”
~ Jennifer Soucy, author of the forthcoming novel, Animal I’ve Become

Michelle von Eschen

Michelle is a lover of the macabre who prefers Earl Grey tea, October, people who say goodbye on the phone, and her dreams are so real she can’t figure out what has really happened to her. When she isn’t writing, Michelle enjoys weightlifting, dark beer, web design, singing and playing guitar, and watching horror movies. She is afraid of the dark and spending quiet time with her broken heart.
She is the author of the novel When the Dead and the novella Mistakes I Made During the Zombie Apocalypse, three short stories collections: Last Night While You Were Sleeping, When You Find Out What You’re Made Of, and Once Upon a Time, When Things Turned Out Okay, a co-author of The Spread which she wrote with her twin sister, and a co-editor of GIVE: An Anthology of Anatomical Entries. Her most recent work, The Murk of Us, is a nonfiction prose and poetry collection documenting the horrors of the toxic empath/narcissist relationship. Her short stories are also featured in several anthologies.
