Tod Robbins (pen name of Clarence Aaron Robbins (1888–1949)) authored two short story collections and several novels. His work often contains bizarre and frightening plots, sometimes influenced by writers like Oscar Wilde & Robert W. Chambers. His novel The Unholy Three (1917) was twice adapted for the screen, and this story, “Spurs”, was used by Tod Browning as the basis for the film Freaks (1932). Robbins emigrated to the French Riviera from New York City and refused to leave during the Nazi occupation of France. He spent the war in a concentration camp and died in Saint-Jean-Cap-Ferrat in 1949.

Ciaran lives in the not-so-wilds of Yorkshire with a very yappy dog. She works as a professional zombie wrangler/producer for a video game company, which is hilarious because she is deathly afraid of zombies. In her free time, she plays video games, embarks on various creative projects (look, she will totally finish a project eventually), and writes fiction. Likes decorating cakes to look like things from whatever piece of media she’s into at the moment.

But his parents moved him at a young and tender age to Texas. Tragedy averted, he was now free to delve the dark, twisted canyons of the human heart without feeling the need to apologize for what he found there.
