Kevin G. Bufton is a thirty-something father, husband and horror writer (in that approximate order) from Birkenhead, on the Wirral.

He has dreamed of being a full-time, professional, published writer since he was in primary school and, in January 2009, he took his first faltering steps towards making his dream a reality, when he submitted his first story, ‘In the Darkness’ for publication. It was accepted and published that same month, in the now-defunct e-zine, Micro 100 and Kevin has not looked back since.

His stories have appeared in numerous websites, magazines and anthologies, many of which are available at his Amazon Author’s Page.

Kevin also edits horror anthologies for Cruentus Libri Press.

Kenneth W. Cain is the author of the Saga of I (These Trespasses) Grave Revelations  Reckoning), The Dead Civil War , and the acclaimed short story collection These Old Tales . He lives with his wife and children in Eastern Pennsylvania.

He became interested in the art of storytelling at a young age, spending hours listening to his grandfather spin tales beside the light of a barrel fire in southern Illinois.  Darkness, fear, mystery, and a bit of the unknown were elements the old man wove into his stories that Kenneth relies on in his own tales.

He discovered his passion for dark fiction spending one too many graveyards shifts on-call for the local Pepperidge Farm cookie plant.  He immersed himself in a world full of books, late night television, and chronic nightmarish dreams, embracing his own fears through his writing and artwork. It intrigued him enough to study creative writing in college in order to hone his skills.

Before writing, Kenneth spent more than twenty sleepless years in the graphic design industry. Kenneth remains a loyal fan of the Cardinals (baseball and football), the 76er’s and the Flyers. He also does formatting and digital conversion work for various publications, including the Lovecraft eZine.

Kenneth’s deepest wish is to share his stories, to have them read. Perhaps his tales will bring you a chill or make you think twice about locking your front door. Either way, he is grateful for his dear readers and hopes you enjoy.

K.R. Griffiths is a former journalist and editor turned horror novelist. His bestselling debut horror novel, 'Panic' brings together two of his great loves, science fiction and horror, and was followed by a novella, 'Shock'. A sequel, 'Psychosis' is slated for release in late 2013.

David Moody has an unhealthy fascination with the end of the world. ‘People tend to just float along on the day-to-day and assume everything’s always going to stay the same,’ he says, ‘but that’s not the case. Sooner or later something’s going to happen to screw everything up. Whether it’s a plague epidemic, an asteroid hitting the planet, climate change or the meltdown of the global economy, something’s going to get us eventually!’

Right folks and folksesses, here it goes my interview with the infamous Jasper Bark, scourge of daytime TV puppets,  owner of some of the finest hair in the business, and not to forget a rather good author.

When he is not breaking computers for money, he hides in a remote Welsh valley and dreams up new ways to offend people with delicate sensibilities.
