In the coming weeks, Resa Nelson will once again join us on the podcast to talk about the second installment in her Dragonslayer Series: The Iron Maiden. I thought this week for Fiction Friday I would send all the readers a gift from her. If you follow the link below, it will take you to […]

Stacey Longo writes horror fiction of a particularly diabolical nature. Her themes prey upon the most primal of fears and her craft is clean and precise, stark, sharp edged terror. She grew up on a dairy farm in Glastonbury, CT  and lived on Block Island, RI for ten years, which is where she began her […]

Born and raised in Salem, MA, Bob is currently at work on a collection of short […]

Robert Sheckley was one of the few science fiction writers to have a true sense of humor that translated into his work. A multiple Hugo and Nebula nominee, he was best known for his absurdist outlook and his stories were uniformly wry with a futuristic bent. His fan peers included Douglas Adams, Neil Gaiman, and […]
