As someone who manages to kill even plastic flowers, author Elizabeth Twist’s story, Tender Flesh, spoke to me… especially since the only plant I’ve ever managed to keep alive (and still is alive right now, watching me) is a Venus Fly Trap with unknown intentions, given it doesn’t seem to actually eat flies. This isContinue reading “Meet The Author: Elizabeth Twist”

Meet The Author: Victoria Nations
It feels so odd to call a horror story hopeful, but I feel it fits Victoria Nations story well, especially as it starts out with so many important statements. It speaks loud about acceptance and community, about loving people for who they are — in full — and about how words have power. It speaksContinue reading “Meet The Author: Victoria Nations”
Meet The Author: Sumiko Saulson
Sumiko Saulson‘s poem is a dark, sensual, earthy poem that flows so magnificently and brings up such gorgeous visuals. The horror creeps up on you, like mushrooms sprouting from the ground after a storm, it’s haunting in such a breathtaking way.

Meet The Author: R.E. Carr
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: 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”
