Authors
A.L. Davidson (she/they/he) is a queer and disabled indie author who loves writing genre-blending stories, tales of heartwarming and horrifying romance, and the coziest sci-fi and urban fantasies you’ll find this side of the galaxy. She specializes in narratives filled with ghosts, grief, isolation, queerness, disability rep, ecohorror, space exploration, slow burn romance, and the human condition. She is a 2023 Indie Ink, Queer Indie, Pushcart Prize, and BBNYA nominee, and a 2024 Indie Ink and Small Spec Awards nominee, and has penned several short stories that have been featured in various lit mags and anthologies since 2022. They are best known for their collection of genre-blending web novels, including the slightly popular cozy horror series "The Night Farm", as well as their horror romance novellas "When The Rain Begins To Burn" and "Lover, Thy Name Is Pestilence", and the "R-PNZL: A Futuristic Fairytale" short story series. She is a crazy plant parent and lives with her cat, Jukebox the Ghost, in Kansas City. When she's not writing, you can find her working a shift and the funeral home, playing cozy video games, and diving into her ever-growing pile of manga.
Jake Vanguard (they/them) is an indie author of queer dark fantasy, science fantasy, horror, and a slice of erotica. In their stories, they love exploring queerness and contradictions, love and connections, family and friendship. The first two books of the Deity Chronicles trilogy – FIRST SNOW and FIRST ROSE – are available now, as well as the paranormal novel, HIGANBANA (Angelverse 1), with more to come. REMNANTS OF RELICS is their first curated anthology, a product of love and community, about the struggles and joys one works with when losing or gaining a new part of themselves. When not writing, they love gaming and cuddling their kitties.
Sirius is a lover of glory, gore, and monsters. They are a queer, nonbinary artist living in the hot and bothered South; currently residing in a little spot that has been dubbed ‘Halloweentown’, North Carolina. They are the writer of The Draonir Saga, The Gentlemen Demon Series, and The Dread South Series. When they are not writing, they work as a professional drag performer, weaving the characters from their stories into visual art for the stage.
