Bronx-born wordsmith, Larry Benjamin considers himself less a writer than an artist whose chosen medium is the written word rather than clay or paint or bronze. He is the author of the allegorical Vampire novella Vampire Rising, the gay novels What Binds Us, and Unbroken―a 2014 Lambda Literary finalist, and a 2014 IPPY (Independent Publishers Book Award) Gold medalist―and Damaged Angels, a collection of short stories. He lives in Philadelphia with his husband and their two dogs.

Daniel W. Kelly is the author of the Comfort Cove gay horror series, plus the horror collections Horny Devils and Closet Monsters: Zombied Out and Tales of Gothrotica. He is also creator of Boys, Bears & Scares, a website dedicated to gay male horror.

David Swatling grew up in New York, studied theatre, and escaped to Amsterdam in 1985. He produced arts & culture programs for Radio Netherlands, winning numerous international prizes. His debut thriller Calvin’s Head was a 2015 Lambda Literary Award Finalist, and Corpus Calvin will be out in May 2016.

J.L. Weinberg was born and raised in San Francisco. He moved to New York City to become a film critic, but was sidetracked by stints as a model and actor. He returned to movie journalism, writing for New York, Premiere, The Village Voice, Interview, American Cinematographer, The Advocate, and The New York Native. True Religion is his first novel.
