About the Author

JOHN EVERSON is the Bram Stoker Award-winning author of the erotic supernatural horror novels Covenant, Sacrifice, The 13th, Siren and The Pumpkin Man. He's also penned five short story collections, including Needles & Sins, which included the Stoker nominated Letting Go. Over the past 15 years, John's short fiction has appeared in more than 75 magazines and anthologies, and he has contributed to Green Hornet and  Kolchak: The Night Stalker anthologies, as well as to the non-fiction On Writing Horror reference book for writers. His stories and novels have also been translated and published in Poland, Turkey and France. John is also the publisher of Dark Arts Books, a Chicago area press spotlighting the cutting edge work of some of the best authors working in short horror/dark fantasy fiction today.

CYNTHIA (cina) PELAYO grew up in a haunted house with very superstitious parents. So, a lifelong fascination with Gothic literature, romantic horror and the macabre seemed fitting. Pelayo holds a genuine curiosity for superstition, folklore and myth. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Journalism from Columbia College, a Master of Science in Integrated Marketing Communication from Roosevelt University, and a Master of Fine Arts in Writing from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is a member of the Horror Writer's Association and is also the Publisher/Gravedigger at Burial Day Books. She wears black - most of the time and she stays out of the sun as much as (un)humanly possible.
