Heather Miller reads and writes horror in a century-old house (definitely haunted) in a small town in Oklahoma. She has loved horror since she was old enough to string sentences together. When she's not immersed in a book, she spends her time chasing after five kids, working in her garden, or hiking in the woods.

Tired of being a corpse-orate zombie, 60s monster-kid JM Cozzoli traded in the needles and voodoo doll effigies of his coworkers for the more rewarding pleasure of writing about the genres that people love to fear, or dream to live in, on his blog, From Zombos’ Closet. He lives in Westbury New York with his wife and son and hopes to one day own an old-styled theater, serving up steamy hot popcorn smothered in real butter, ice-cold Bonbons, and lots of horror and science fiction movies. Now and then he also gets the urge to write.

Here you will find a compilation of the very best from the first four anthologies, hand-chosen by editor Jeani Rector: AND NOW THE NIGHTMARE BEGINS, TWICE THE TERROR, WHAT FEARS BECOME and A FEAST OF FRIGHTS. Some of The Horror Zine’s early years have been lost in time…until now. Featuring dark fantasy, mystery, pure suspense and classic horror, THE BEST OF THE HORROR ZINE: THE EARLY YEARS is relentless in its approach to basic fears and has twisted, unexpected endings. THE BEST OF THE HORROR ZINE: THE EARLY YEARS contains fiction from such renowned masters of the macabre as Bentley Little, Joe R. Lansdale, Elizabeth Massie, Scott Nicholson, Joe McKinney, Susie Moloney, Scott Nicholson, Jeff Strand, Simon Clark, Taylor Grant and Eric J. Guignard. This book also contains the very best of emerging writers, poets, and artists from the award-winning, long-running ezine: The Horror Zine. “Short fiction is the beating, bloody heart of the horror genre, and The Horror Zine has consistently presented startling and superb short stories, poetry and art. This fine anthology not only collects work from established pros like Joe R. Lansdale, Elizabeth Massie, Scott Nicholson, Bentley Little, Jeff Strand, and Joe McKinney, but it also presents dark visions from the new voices that you’ll be talking about in years to come.” – Lisa Morton, multiple Bram Stoker Award-winning author and co-editor of HALLOWS' EVE Find this book HERE
