John M. Cozzoli

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.
