Much like film noir, Justin Robinson was born and raised in Los Angeles. He splits his time between editing comic books, writing prose, and wondering what that disgusting smell is. Degrees in Anthropology and History prepared him for unemployment, but an obsession with horror fiction and a laundry list of phobias provided a more attractive option. He is the author of ten novels in a variety of genres including detective, humor, urban fantasy, and horror. Most of them are pretty good.

Jessica Gomez is a bestselling author that balances her time between family and writing. A bibliophile and self-admitted crazy person who argues with the characters in her head on a daily basis, as if they’re friends. It doesn’t hurt that half of them are steaming hot bad boys that would do anything for their girls.

She loves camping with family and has just figured out how to cook the perfect S’more, and has the burn marks to prove it. Her quirky sense of humor and sarcasm bleeds through in her writing, drawing laughter in inappropriate places. You’re gonna get odd looks… just saying. She loves visiting with readers about her book or any books for that matter, so please reach out!

Stalk me, please!

Hey Survivor! My name is Sylvester Barzey and I am a best selling horror and fantasy author. I grew up in Bronx, NY, lived in the smallest state in the country for a while and then transplanted to Lawrence, GA.

I’m a military veteran with an addiction to all things horror. My overall goal is to shine a spotlight on BIPOC characters within the horror/fantasy genre. From a young age I was obsessed with horror movies, mostly slashers. The mythos of the “Final Girl” trope was always something that appealed to me. The act of taking someone and watching them overcome the greatest odds to be the ultimate survivor has been a strong attraction to the horror for me.

But, what I didn’t realize growing up was all these survivors were White. Seeing only one type of person rise, builds blocks within people’s minds, it causes them to think that surviving is a trait only in one race, which is far from the truth. The Black community (Black Women for sure) have survival built into their DNA. History has shown us that overcoming great odds is something Black people have always done.

Being that I couldn’t find the final girls I was looking for (There are some don’t get me wrong and they are amazing), I set out to create them. I want to produce Black heroes who overcome world shattering events and rise above them. My goal is for people to say Catherine Briggs’ name in the same breath as they say Sidney Prescott and Laurie Strode. It’s my mission to change horror so that my children can look at it and see themselves as survivors.
