| A D Dawson lives in the market town of Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, England. He has regularly contributed to The Dream Zone magazine. Dawson will also be included in the upcoming anthology, "Sick: An Anthology of Illness." As graduate in literature, the writer, A D Dawson is fascinated by the story telling of the Victorian writers. Dark gothic tales, such as Emily Bronte's Wuthering Heights (1847), fuel his imagination with their foreboding corners and shadows. Furthermore, the Victorian ghost story, such as Henry James' The Turn of The Screw (1898) and Margaret Oliphant's various short tales of the unseen, bring to him a world that is haunted by a sense that the living and the dead, the past and the present, the banal and the bizarre... are divided by no more than a whisper. It is from this world that Dawson draws his inspiration for his own tales... You can visit his web site at www.dodsleypages.com. |
| The author is alive. (Sometimes I wonder.) He lives alone inside a mind threatening to cave in on itself. A daydream junkie, improbable fantasies are his stalk in trade; like imagining finding a publisher who will pay for his work. He is most profound when profoundly asleep. Nothing gets finished. The author may be lazy. Two things he says most often to himself: "Did I write that?" or "Where could I have stolen that from!" |

M. Garrow Bourke’s artwork and fiction largely remain an underground phenomenon. Fried Anchovies with Bloody Bouillabaisse, his incindiary first novel, and his essay "The Art of Ribbing: a History of Sexist Humor" caused quite a stir among readers. Bourke (whose last name defies pronounciation) is currently hiding out and working on his second novel. When the urge to write wanes Bourke resorts to extreme digital image rendering. He is a traveling man who calls the roads of the United States of America his home. |

Jason
Mink is a writer of stuff from the twilight shores of Pittsburgh.
Rooted in the decayed past, his work looks forward toward a bleak,
post-industrial wasteland of a world in which humankind has irrevocably
shattered it's link to Nature and is left floundering in a sea of
existential angst ... or so he tells intellectuals, to make himself
sound deep. Actually, his poems are absurdist screwball dramas designed
to incite the faceless masses to anarchy...or so he tells Goth chicks,
who eat that kind of crap up... Ultimately, of course, it will be
up to the individual reader to decide what his poems are about, what
value {if any} they have in their own lives. |

| Born a poor black child in rural Manhattan in the mid 60's, polycarp kusch grew to define the term--disinterested party. Lacking both ability and drive, he rose quickly in academic and business circles and finally landed a job as a K-Mart cashier. The following day he was fired and dedicated his life to literature. Popular opinion said this was a bad thing. This man should not be allowed access to sharp things like pencils. Then came latex gloves and computers and people forgot about polycarp kusch. But soon after World War 2, the "lost writings" of polycarp were rediscovered by a new generation of people with way too much time on their hands--and thus was born--the cult of the polycarp. He now lives in Budapest, Hungary existing on a simple diet of pork and Czechoslovakian beer with his third wife Evacarp. |
