Notes on Contributors
Caroline Dunford has written stories for many small press magazines and Barrington Books The Science of Silence.
Stephen Gallagher has written many novels, screenplays and stories, and is heading away from the horror side road towards the mainstream motorway avoiding the slipstream completely.
Brian Gorman is an artist and comic writer who is still finding his feet. He has recently compiled a video full of interviews of interesting people talking about comics.
Graham Higgins has been a comic artist for many years but has continually side-stepped limelight, though this was definitely not his intention. His latest project was MORT a graphic novel written by Terry Pratchett.
Ben Hunt is a comic writer and artist who produced the small press comic VOGARTH is Preston for many years. Now the comic has been released Nation-wide so everyone has a chance to sample their varied delights.
Stephen Laws has been doing very well for himself lately with his distinctive style of horror. His latest novel is Macabre, and sites the horror among the homeless in cardboard city.
Sarita Marsland attends Lancaster University studying Computers and Psychology.
Martin McKenna has been illustrating magazines like Interzone and Role-Playing games for a few years. His style has improved so much his break into sf and horror novel cover work can only be round the corner.
Jim Pitts has been illustrating horror magazines and books for many a year, and just gets better and better. This has been reflected in his winning the BFS award for best artist twice.
Kevin Rattan has worked at Granada and is now involved in a Production Company. He wrote the short plays for the first series of Cludo on TV, before it went crap.
Bryan Talbot, the creator of Luther Arkwright has done it again with the Dark Horse publication of One Bad Rat.
Conrad Williams has won the BFS award for best newcomer, and writes a mean story. His range is wide and he can write as well in traditional horror as slipstream.
Dave Windett is an comic artist who specialises in childrens comics. Thomas The Tank Engine, Tom and Jerry, Zig and Zag and Tiny Toons have all been given the Windett treatment.
