Gary Myers fell under the shadow of Lovecraft at the tender age of sixteen and never completely escaped it. All of his published writings have touched on the Cthulhu Mythos in one way or another. His first book, The House of the Worm, a cycle of dream fantasies in the manner of Lovecraft and Dunsany, was published by Arkham House in 1975. His second book, Dark Wisdom, a cycle of Lovecraftian horrors in a more modern vein, was published by Mythos Books in 2007. His third book, The Country of the Worm, will mark a return to the earlier fantasy mode, with a revised and expanded edition of the first book supported by an equal number of similar stories written in the decades since; it will be published by Mythos Books in the near future.

Michael Shea was born in Los Angeles—in Culver City, across the street from the huge north wall of MGM Studio's main lot. There, the billboard-size movie ads greeted his infant eyes, and taught him awe and a love of grand narratives. An inveterate hitch hiker before, during, and after his college years, he encountered, in a flophouse up in Juneau, Alaska, a book of pure Fantasy entitled The Eyes of The Overworld. A year or so later, at a different flophouse in the Fillmore District (a ghetto in those days) of San Francisco, he encountered AT THE MOUNTAINS OF MADNESS. Read more

Brandon Seifert is a comics writer and sometimes-journalist from Fairbanks, Alaska, currently residing here in Portland. Brandon's high school fascination with Lovecraft led directly to the development of WITCH DOCTOR, a horror/medical drama comic book series produced with fellow Alaskan-cum-Portlander Lukas Ketner. WITCH DOCTOR draws its existential horror from viruses, bacteria and parasites—ever-present proof that the universe is not inherently friendly to human life. After two years of self-publishing and distributing stories locally and online, WITCH DOCTOR was picked up as the launch title for Skybound Entertainment, a new imprint of Image Comics published by Robert (THE WALKING DEAD) Kirkman.
