  • Artists

    • Alan M. Clark A great artist, Alan and I have worked together many times, including on my PS novellas Naming of Parts and Changing of Faces.
    • Alex McVey A splendid artist, check out his stuff and weep.
    • Caniglia One of the best artists working today, whose imaginary and affecting images grace books by Piccirilli and Clegg, as well as yours truly. Caniglia and I keep promising ourselves that we’ll work on a graphic novel. One day, when we aren’t so busy…
    • John Picacio A superb artist, a joy to work with (he illustrated my novels Face for Night Shade and Until She Sleeps for Cemetery Dance), winner of the International Horror Guild Award, altogether cool dude.
    • Les Edwards Superb artist whose work has graced the covers of books by Ramsey Campbell, China Miéville, Mark Morris and Jeff Vandermeer, as well as countless others. His illustration for Exorcising Angels is stunning.
    • Vincent Chong Vinny’s one of the best new artists out there today.

  • Authors

    • Adam Roberts Author of some of the finest, high-concept science fiction being published today.
    • Allen Ashley A fine writer and editor from the UK.
    • Allyson Bird A fine new writer, a lovely person, but someone this cool just has to have a closet full of skeletons.
    • Bob Lock A writer from my homeland!
    • Brett A Savory An excellent Canadian. Read The Distance Travelled or die unfulfilled.
    • Brian Hodge Fantastic writer, wrote one of the creepiest stories I’ve ever read, The Dripping of Sundered Wineskins.
    • Brian Keene US horror writer causing a storm, author of The Rising, Terminal, Ghostwalk, and many others. Crap British accent.
    • Bryan Smith A great writer from the US!
    • Christopher Golden My American brother.
    • Conrad Williams One of our finest writers, and only now – at last – getting the attention he deserves. One of those horrible people who makes me think ‘why do I bother’.
    • Dan Simmons A real inspiration … unhindered by genres, everything he writes is touched with genius.
    • Douglas Clegg A fine writer of horror, supernatural and suspense novels.
    • F. Paul Wilson Author of the Repairman Jack novels, all-round good bloke.
    • Gary A. Braunbeck What can I say about Gary? Another one of those people who makes me wonder why I bother … his work is IMPORTANT!
    • Geoff Cooper Author of Bum Piss and Other City Scents, likes coffee, can’t run for shit.
    • Graham Joyce Painfully talented, horribly good looking and charismatic, you just can’t help hating him on sight.
    • Jack Ketchum Award-winning author of classic novels such as The Girl Next Door, The Lost and Hide and Seek. Whisky lover, all round good bloke. Can often be found in Greece.
    • Joe Hill Author of the excellent 20th Century Ghosts and Heart Shaped Box.
    • Kealan Patrick Burke Young writer and editor who has quickly established himself firmly at the heart of the genre today.
    • Lee Thomas Fantastic writer from the USA – horror, thriller, YA stuff.

    • Mark Morris He’s a bit short and has got no edge, but he’s also one of my best mates. A fine novelist and short story writer, and discoverer of the spring of eternal youth. It’s somewhere near Leeds.
    • Michael Oliveri Author of Deadliest of the Species, great guy, has a good taste in names for kids.
    • Michael T Huyck Jr. Excellent US writer, lots of scars.
    • Ramsey Campbell The Guvnor
    • Sarah Langan Hot author of the brilliant The Keeper and Virus … one to watch, for sure.
    • Sarah Pinborough You look at her and think, ‘Oh, she’s lovely.’ Then you read her stuff. Very talented, and going places.
    • Scott Hintz A new horror writer from the USA.
    • Stephen Volk He should have a website!
    • Steven Erikson Author of the extraordinary Malazan Book of the Fallen series of fantasy novels. Another excellent Canadian.
    • Tom Piccirilli Award-winning author of many horror novels, now writing some of th ebest suspense and crime novels out today. Probably still crap at playing pool, though.
    • Tom Sniegoski Novels, short stories, screenplays, comics, there’s nothing this man can’t do.
    • Tony Richards An excellent writer. Read him and weep.
