Essel Scott Pratt
 Essel Pratt is a purveyor of horror and fantasy, conjuring tales that haunt souls and inspire imagination. As a student of psychology and teller of tales, Essel writes to share the complex nature of his imaginings with the world. His ever-expanding catalog of short stories spans multiple anthologies and collections, ranging from whimsical fantasy to bizarre horror, including everything in between. | Dedicated fans have praised his creations, labeling his talents as prolific in substance.Hailing from Mishawaka, Indiana, his passion for writing began in the early years as his imagination taunted from within, begging for a release. Dabbling in art at first, he found that the stories that pleaded to be told could not be imprisoned by ink and paint alone. His most notable and prevalent accomplishments include Final Reverie, Sharkantula, and the multiple short stories that have garnered a following of their own, such as the adventures of Detective Mansfield. Inspired by C.S. Lewis, Clive Barker, Stephen King, Harper Lee, William Golding, and many more, Essel doesn't restrain his writings to straight horror, instead exploring the blurred boundaries of horror within its competing genres, mixing the elements into a literary stew. |  |
Naomi Downing
  | This book is meant as a warning... Not an instruction manual. Before we begin, let me tell you it is illegal to be overweight. Still with me? Good, now not only is it illegal to be overweight, but now all fast and junk food has been outlawed. If you are between the ages of eight and twenty-nine, and not following the law, you will be sent to a government run weight-loss camp. Trust me, this is not a camp you want to go to. Twins Jenn and Will have been hiding very well, they grew up in a state run facility and ran away before anyone could send them to camp. Unfortunately, they could only run for so long. They have been caught and sent to camp. They never imagined just how bad life could get until they met Major, a sadistic man who runs the camp they're sent to. What horrors do they see? Can they get out alive? You'll have to read to find out their fate. | Naomi Downing is a single mother in Northeast Vermont, with a passion for books. Her grandmother introduced her to horror at a very young age, making her a lifelong horror fan. For years she dreamed of becoming a published author, in 2018 she achieved that dream with the publication of her book Fat Free Nation.

| Dani Brown's style of dark and twisted writing and deeply disturbing stories has amassed a worrying sized cult following featuring horrifying tales such as "56 Seconds", "Night of the Penguins" and the hugely popular "Ketamine Addicted Pandas". Merging eroticism with horror, torture and other areas that most authors wouldn't dare, each of Dani's titles will crawl under your skin, burrow inside you, and make you question why you are coming back for more. |  |  |
