Nicholas Belardes
Nicholas Belardes’s fiction combines elements of literary fantastic, fantasy, eco-horror, and science fiction. His obsession with nature, history, and the world’s ongoing climate disasters, blended with a daily birdwatching habit, fills his prose with not just warblers and flycatchers but also other obscurities from the natural world. He earned his MFA at University of California Riverside’s Palm Desert Low Residency where he received the Founder’s Award. The Deading is his debut horror novel. He lives on the Central California coast.

Markus Redmond
"Redmond paints such a disturbingly real portrait of inhumanity in the early American South that you'll beg the vampires to rise and destroy every plantation and slave owner."
Blood on Her Tongue (2025)
Johanna van Veen
"Johanna van Veen's artful and cunning use of the sublime will pull you into a sisterly web of terror, beauty, and horror, all of it sensual and dripping with the idea that death should be a kind of mutilation."
