JOSH MALERMAN

Josh Malerman is the New York Times best selling author of Bird Box and Daphne. But what does this mean in light of him working on his 36th novel as we speak, working with the devotion of a dog? What are sales in light of… love?

 

He’s also one of two singer/songwriters for the Detroit band The High Strung. And if you visit his house, you’ll end up drinking and listening to albums till 4AM.

 

Malerman is also deadset on directing a movie of his own this year. This will happen. Untitled for now. But not unthought of.


JOHNNY COMPTON

Johnny Compton (he/him) is a San Antonio based author whose short stories have appeared in several publications since 2006, including PseudopodStrange Horizons and The No Sleep Podcast. His fascination with frightening fiction started when his kindergarten teacher played a record of the classic ghost story “The Golden Arm” for her class. The Spite House is his debut novel through Tor Nightfire.

 


 

TREVOR HENDERSON
