David Owain Hughes is a word-slinger of horror and crime fiction, who grew up on trashy b-movies from the age of five which helped rapidly instil in him a vivid imagination. He’s had multiple short stories published in various online magazines and anthologies, along with articles, reviews and interviews. He’s written for This Is Horror, Blood Magazine, and Horror Geeks Magazine. Hughes is the author of six horror novels, four short story collections and a plethora of novellas. Although he predominately writes within the bracket of horror and its multiple sub-genres, he’s recently branched out into crime fiction and is slowly carving out a superb series of crime/noir thrillers under the umbrella title of South Wales.

MATTHEW GILLIES is a Canadian dark fantasy, horror and science fiction author who began his adventure into literary fiction at an early age. Since he was a young boy, he’s long had a passion for telling stories. The day his mom brought home an electric typewriter was the day Matthew knew he wanted to become an author. Like many emerging authors, the journey to publishing his work has been a long road. At the age of sixteen, Matthew wrote his first horror novel, The Experiment, and promptly followed up with the science fiction novel, The Pig Factory and the cyberpunk novel Oblivious Paradise. After years of letting his novels sit untouched, he took his dad’s advice about self-publishing and becoming an indie author. What transpired from there was the 2014 release of his debut New Adult horror novel, The Electric Coma Dream. Voted one of the ten best horror novels of 2014 by horrornovelreviews.com, The Electric Coma Dream continues to be Matthew’s most popular novel, garnering critical acclaim from fans of his writing. In 2015, Matthew released his dark fantasy novel, The Master & The Servant, as well as the cyberpunk novel, Oblivious Paradise. As a fan of the cyberpunk genre, Matthew released a stand-alone sequel to Oblivious Paradise entitled H+ before returning to his roots and publishing his first collection of short horror stories in The Acute Physiologies of Grotesque Monstrosities. His latest novel, EveryWhen is the first book in an epic, fantasy series called the Chronicles of the Godslayers.

Lived in Germany, Japan and England, and visited over seventy countries. Dissipate my free time fly fishing and shooting.
