About the Author

Amityville-born horror writer Michael Arnzen holds four Bram Stoker Awards and an International Horror Guild Award for his often funny, always disturbing fiction and poetry. An expanded, 10th anniversary edition of the "best of Arnzen" -- his Stoker-award winning story collection, Proverbs for Monsters -- is slated for release from Dark Regions Press in 2017. Other recent Arnzen titles include his novel, Grave Markings (Raw Dog Screaming Press), a non-fiction study, The Popular Uncanny (Guide Dog Books), and a writer's helper, Instigation: Creative Prompts on the Dark Side (Mastication Publications). Arnzen holds a Ph.D. in English from the University of Oregon and since 1999 has taught fulltime at Seton Hill University, near Pittsburgh, in their MFA program in Writing Popular Fiction. Always experimenting, Arnzen's work in the genre has appeared in everything from poetry magnets (Fridge of the Damned) and Palm Pilots (Gorelets) to playing cards (Play Dead) and moving pictures (Exquisite Corpse).
