April Toche Immunity, April 2009 I am a mother of four, and a writer at heart. I have read horror since I was 12, and have been hooked ever since. I have stories inside screaming to get out, so writing is a must for me. I love to shock and kick people out of their comfort zones with my stories. I write because I love it.

Your Beautiful Moment, May 2011

Australian born poet, US resident since late seventies. Works as financial systems analyst. Recently published in Slant, Briar Cliff Review and Albatross with
windows crashing silver, branches screaming, mad air pelting stones and bones on battering horn-blasts of highway rampage and raw men scattering like wind flotsam. Night, the predator beast, leaps on day, cracks its back with holocaust fangs. But yearnings never hear, hunger can’t be swayed by bully-boys of Armageddon. It merely combs its hair in jagged light, sighs like a bi-plane through clouds of thunder. “Your dinner is here,” snarls the bell-boy. Some nights, it’s cooked flesh. Some nights, it is the bell-boy.

murderous rampages and showed up at Savior™ cubicles afterwards, only to slather their battered souls with well-rehearsed lines of prayers from Aramaic to Latin to Oriental mumbo jumbo. Most of the time, toilet drains got clogged with chopped remains of slaughtered loved ones. There was simply so much to do, so much to become... After eons of evolution and centuries of sustaining a civilization, life was never this deliciously outrageous. The soundtrack of this story: Joy to the world... in Fantasy and Horror as well as nominations for the Pushcart Prize and Rhysling Award and won Sam's Dot Publishing's James Award for genre poetry twice.

The Devil's Jukebox, December 2010

I am a new writer with some minor success behind me, and I wondered whether you’d consider a short story of mine for possible publication. I have previously optioned a feature length horror screenplay with the U.S. company Mania Media (owner of the genre focused Mania magazine, previously known as Cinescape) and I've also had a short story accepted by the U.S. horror magazine Shriek Freak Quarterly. I would now like to further my writing career with some more genre short stories with the intention of writing enough of sufficient quality to possibly lead to a published collection.

Stephen R. Bonnoil The Curse of the Kudzu Nov 2009

Stephen R. Bonniol was born, raised, and still lives in Barrington, RI, an upper middle class town on the shores of Narragansett Bay. If you've ever seen the original Leave it To Beaver TV series, that's what his childhood was like.  A good portion of his writing takes place in the town or the nearby states of MA and NH.     
     To date, he has written one novel - OFFSPRING, one children’s book, “Noogies are Wild” which tells a message of sibling rivalry, overcoming diversity and how love between siblings can overcome all odds.
     He has authored dozens of horror shorts.  Many are now part of Brown University’s H.P. Lovecraft Collection.  He’s had one horror short published at www.demonictome.com (March ’09) edition.   
     At present, He’s hard at work on his second novel, “Hummingbird Wings,” and a series of memoirs, of growing up in the 60’s and 70’s. To quote the author, “I know this has been done to death but I assure you my story is both amusing and tragic. To say I am lucky to be alive is an understatement.”
     Steve also enjoys writing comedic “rants” about everyday things that yank his chain and tick him off.  Friends and fans alike assure him that these are funny.  They may be scared to say otherwise.
