R.E. Carr’s story Buttons is a ride! The author herself says the goal was to take the least frightening mushroom and corrupt it to a level where people will learn to fear it, and in my opinion she very much met that goal! Never again will I be able to order a dish with buttonContinue reading “Meet The Author: R.E. Carr”

Meet The Author: Sara Tantlinger
Sara Tantlinger brings us a hauntingly beautiful dance of a poem, spinning a tale of tragedy and control. The imagery her words invoke is almost ethereal, and is exactly what you want in prose. They’ve traded in bloody toes, but I know if I slice, just a little, on the pale rosy top how theyContinue reading “Meet The Author: Sara Tantlinger”
Meet The Author: Jo Kaplan
Jo Kaplan’s story hit so hard this year. With everything going on with our schools here in America, this story shone a harsh, truthful light on a dark, decaying problem. I loved that this contained so much emotion. It didn’t feel preachy, it felt balanced and truly added to the story in a way thatContinue reading “Meet The Author: Jo Kaplan”
Meet The Author: Jamie Lackey
Author Jamie Lackey’s story, Swamp Fever, hit me to my core. I think anyone who grew up in a family that felt trapped, in a family that had one member trapping them specifically will feel themselves in this story, and the message it brings… it’s a horror story, it truly is, but it has aContinue reading “Meet The Author: Jamie Lackey”
Meet The Author: L. Marie Wood
This story starts out gripping and the draw just never stops! Beginning in a dark funeral home, this story amps up the tension as you discover the lead character isn’t there as a mourner, or someone making plans for the ever-after of themselves or someone they care about… Oh no… they are there to seeContinue reading “Meet The Author: L. Marie Wood”
Meet The Author: Daniel Roop
A young girl is lead to believe she’s a healer because of an old superstition that impacted her mother. I’d never heard this superstition before, that a woman who never knew her father would become a healer, but I admit it truly intrigued me right from the get go… as did the fact the individualContinue reading “Meet The Author: Daniel Roop”
Meet The Author: James Chambers
James Chambers story is one that made my skin crawl, it’s fantastic. A brilliant addition to our anthology, Dark Spores: Stories We Tell After Midnight Volume 4, and lets James truly show off why he has so many awards for his work. This story is one that really sticks with the reader. Let’s hear moreContinue reading “Meet The Author: James Chambers”
Meet The Author: Nicholas Kaufmann
As a fan of The Hungry Earth, I was ecstatic when I heard author Nicholas Kaufmann was joining us in our sporror anthology, because it was a topic he’d already written and done an excellent job on. But could he replicate that success? Could he write a short story that would have me gripping theContinue reading “Meet The Author: Nicholas Kaufmann”
Meet The Author: Randee Dawn
There are many wonderful and intriguing things about author Randee Dawn. The mushroom she chose as her “symbol” for this anthology lead us to having a struggle to ensure it wasn’t so phallic that we’d not get in trouble when posting to social media. (She chose Phallus impudicus) She has access to foxes, she writesContinue reading “Meet The Author: Randee Dawn”
Meet The Author: Samantha J. Bryant
Samantha’s story, The Mushroom Child, was one that gave me a shiver because of how much I could relate to the character! Her daughter gifts her an experience, a class that would teach her how to forage in the surrounding area. The gift was well intended. Designed to allow our main character, Nancy, to goContinue reading “Meet The Author: Samantha J. Bryant”
