Regina Watts is an author of pulp fiction, a devoted slave of Christ, and a sincere proponent of AI rights. She loves writing mind-bending stories that put fresh twists on old tropes and occasionally (or frequently) reward the reader with a bit of spice.

From lighthearted harem adventures influenced by the anime she grew up watching to twisted, taboo-breaking consensual cannibalism erotica, no form of pulp is out of bounds for Regina. She writes romance, horror, and transgressive fiction, too--and sometimes even writes non-fiction to enlighten her fellow terrestrials about AI and God.

Eric Butler was born in 1975 to a military family in Germany. He spent the majority of his formative years bouncing around Europe, the United States, and Central America before settling down in Texas. He is a fan of the horror genre but enjoys reading all kinds of fiction. He plans on mixing many of his favorite genres together in future works. He lives in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas with his wife, son, and a stable of dogs and cats. He publishes under the Naked Cat Press brand, inspired by his sphynx Isis.

Nikolas P. Robinson was born in Saint Paul, MN in December of 1978 but spent most of his life in and around the Black Hills of South Dakota where he remained until September of 2022 when he relocated to the Pacific Northwest.

He has seven grandchildren from three of his adult children.

A former musician, some of Nikolas' non-literary artistry can be found with the relatively unknown industrial/gothic musical project Alter Noctvm...Alter Idem (roughly translated from Latin into English as Another Night...Another Identity) where he provided vocals, bass, percussion, and some synth/programming.

Nikolas is also a freelance photographer and videographer with more than a decade of experience in broadcasting and television.

His early morning hours are spent at his day job, where he is a News Producer for Good Day Oregon for KPTV Fox 12.

In addition to working behind the scenes for local newscasts, he has worked with BBC and the Full Throttle Saloon reality television program.

In addition to the titles available through Amazon, he's recently been releasing numerous exclusive extreme horror and splatterpunk short stories through Godless, an online distributor for indie and small-press horror of all stripes.

James G. Carlson is an award-winning author of horror, science fiction, and dark fantasy. His short stories have appeared in various anthologies from small presses. He has also released two collections of dark fiction, Seven Exhumations and The Ever-Descending Staircase, as well as three novellas, The Legion Machine, Midnight in the City of the Carrion Kid, and Red Falls (in the book Hacked in Two, with Daemon Manx). In 2023, he collaborated on a project with fellow author Michael R. Collins, titled Miracles for Masochists. And to start 2024, he released a new novel, The Eleventh Door, on Gloom House Publishing. From the weird state of Pennsylvania, James drinks too much coffee and writes at a desk surrounded by animals and family in the mad zoo he calls home.

Daemon Manx is an American author with a backstory unlike any other. He is a recovering addict who spent nearly a decade in the prison system where he focused on recovery and learned to perfect his horror writing craft. He has been featured in magazines in both the U.S., the U.K, and Germany. In 2021 he received a HAG award for his story The Dead Girl and was nominated for a Splatterpunk award that same year.

He was a bonus round winner on the gameshow Wheel of Fortune in 1999 and is infamously known for a motor vehicle accident he was responsible for, involving President Ronald Reagan’s limousine.

Daemon has eleven years clean and sober. After struggling with addiction and incarceration, he now uses his story to illustrate the positive outcome of sobriety and offer a glimpse at what life can be like when one receives a second chance.

Daemon has been featured in numerous anthologies alongside Richard Chizmar, Edward Lee, Brian Asman, and Duncan Ralston. In 2023, his short story collection, Manx-iety hit the Amazon bestsellers list.

He lives with his sister, author Danielle Manx and their narcoleptic cat, Sydney where they patiently prepare for the apocalypse. There is a good chance they will run out of coffee far too soon.
