Authors

Violette Ulalume

Author · 1 books

Violette Ulalume is a writer who loves anything dark and macabre. She is the author of the Decay & Bone series. When she's not writing, she can be found hanging out in old graveyards and drinking tea.

Julie Hutchings

Author · 3 books

Julie Hutchings is a pizza hoarding, coffee swilling, beer guzzling, karate loving book geek with a love of all things creepy and obscure. She lives in America's Hometown of Plymouth, Massachusetts with her hilarious husband and two genius children.

Tiffany Morris is an L’nu’skw (Mi’kmaw) writer from Nova Scotia. She is the author of the swampcore horror novella Green Fuse Burning (Stelliform Books, 2023) and the Elgin-nominated horror poetry collection Elegies of Rotting Stars (Nictitating Books, 2022). Her work has appeared in the Indigenous horror anthology Never Whistle At Night, as well as in Nightmare Magazine, Uncanny Magazine, and Apex Magazine, among others. She has an MA in English from Acadia University with a focus on Indigenous Futurisms and apocalyptic literature.

Kathleen Palm wanted to be a ballerina (but dancing was hard), then a marine biologist (but science was hard). About eighteen years ago, she became a writer (which is hard, but she didn’t care). She loves scary movies, TV shows, and books, watching people play horror video games on YouTube, and chocolate cake. With her husband, two college kids, four cats and two dogs, she lives in a big, old (sadly not haunted) house in rural Indiana where she resists the urge to run through the killer-infested cornfields.

Chad P. Brown

Author · 6 books

Chad P. Brown was born in Huntington, WV. Once he outgrew his childhood fears of haunted houses, clowns, and toy monkeys with cymbals (although those still creep him out a little bit), he discovered a dark love for writing and an affinity for macabre and eldritch matters. He holds a Master's in Latin from Marshall University and is an Affiliate member of the Horror Writers Association. In October 2011, he released his first horror novel, The Jack-in-the-box. He has appeared in the anthologies SPIDERS (August 2012 by May December Publications) and Gothic Blue Book Vol. 2 - Revenge Edition (October 2012 by Burial Day Books). His current projects include a recently released zombie novella, Messiah of the Zombie Apocalypse, and various short stories, as well as a dark fiction novella, The Pumpkin House, which is in submission.

Amy Giuffrida grew up reading Stephen King and sleeping with a light on in fear. She now purposely watches horror movies and has recently gotten over her fear of clowns. She is a Buffy the Vampire Slayer enthusiast, which has influenced her writing—there are no sparkly vampires here. When not writing, you can probably find her watching missed CW shows, hanging out at her kids' sports practice, reading for her literary assistant position at Holloway Literary Agency, or inhaling the latest YA or NA read. THE BLEEDING HEART is her first novel. You can find Amy at her many haunts on the web: http://midnightsocietytales.com and
