Luciano Marano is an American journalist, photographer, and author. His award-winning reporting, both written and photographic, has appeared in numerous regional and national publications, and he was named a 2018 and 2020 Feature Writer of the Year by the Washington Newspaper Publishers Association. His short fiction has been featured in several anthologies – including Monsters, Movies & Mayhem (winner of the 2021 Colorado Book Award for Best Anthology); Crash Code (a 2021 Splatterpunk award nominee); The Nighside Codex, and Year’s Best Hardcore Horror Vol. 3, among others – as well as the podcasts PseudoPod and Horror Hill. Originally from rural western Pennsylvania, Luciano now resides near Seattle, where he is currently at work on a novel and seeking representation. A U.S. Navy veteran, he enjoys movies, craft beer, jogging, and would choose Wolverine-style healing abilities if he could have any superpower – or maybe just the ability to grow Wolverine-style sideburns.
MarBelle has a strange compulsion to watch as many films as he can get his hands on and find jobs that give him a legitimate excuse to drill filmmakers about their work. Directors Notes is the decade long incarnation of this disorder and remains so much cheaper than film school.
CAITLIN MARCEAU is an author and professional editor living and working in Montreal. She prefers to focus her time on journalism and works of horror, but has also been published for poetry as well as creative nonfiction. When she’s not covered in ink or wading through stacks of paper, you can find her ranting about issues in pop culture or nerding out over a good book. She has a play coming out at the end of the year called SHADOW PUPPETS. Her work can also be found at at Sanitarium Magazine, Shadows at the Door, and Morpheus Tales. Look for her to be featured in “The Women in Horror Annual” issued by the Horror Writers Association.

Jane is an English singer, writer and actress. Over the course of her long career she’s published three novels and organised major fundraising events, including one for Children in Need. She was raised on horror stories written by the likes of Ray Bradbury, Isaac Asimov and E. M. Forster and adored Hammer Horror Films and, as a girl, she desperately wanted to be an actress, but her father forbade it. So instead she went to secretarial college. But she got her way in the end – our British audience might recognise her face: she’s been in EastEnders, Holby City and Midsomer Murders among others. She lives with her very practical husband, who’s her complete opposite and thinks she should take life easier, and has three grown-up children and eleven grandchildren. She doesn’t really do social media. Probably very wise.
