A quick thanks to our community managers, Jasmine Arch, Joshua Boucher, and his eyeless ones Mary Pastrano and Cody Czarzasty

And Joshua Boucher for helping with our submission reading.

And to Ben Errington the ongoing explosion of content being fired out of his Social Media canon.

D.C Hill is the author of several short stories, and the pseudonymous mask of Dan Hill, editor and writer of numerous comic book tales. You can find him online by chanting his name backwards whilst staring into a mirror.

Alexandra is a bilingual voice actress and writer who lives in the Netherlands. She loves everything to do with stories, especially creative and playful horror. Her favourite voices to do are witches, goblins and crazy computers. When she is not voicing, writing or mummy-ing (which is all the time, really) she directs plays that she adapted from classic novels such as Pride and Prejudice, Death on the Nile and One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.
