According to Edith Wharton, the judge of a good ghost story is thermometrical — it should send the cold shiver down one’s spine. She’s best known for her novels, some of which you may have read in school. In 1921, she was the first woman to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. But we love her best for her gothic and ghostly tales.
During his lifetime Edward Lucas White was known for several historical novels that were critical and commercial successes: El Supremo (1916), The Unwilling Vestal (1918), and Andivius Hedulio (1921), the latter two of which H. P. Lovecraft later recommended to Fritz Leiber as “the finest modern fictional reflections” he’d read about the Roman Empire. Each of these three books went through a dozen printings and sold widely for more than a quarter of a century. However, he is best remembered for his contribution to weird fiction in this story.
James Michael White is the author of Future Nothingness Already and several other novels and collections.
Laurice White is a voice actor who has read stories for all four Escape Artists podcasts, and for John Joseph Adams and Hugh Howey on The End is Nigh and The End is Now, the first two volumes of The Apocalypse Triptych.
Veteran romance writer Jess Whitecroft moonlighted into writing horror when she moved to a haunted location and discovered that none of the alleged ghosts did any haunting, and that she would have to supply her own. A rank amateur at the art of self-description, she outsourced her author biography to her nearest and dearest, who said, “Great cook, but sometimes eats crisps in bed.” Twitter: @JessWhitecroft.
