Alex Azar is an award winning author bred, born, and raised in New Jersey. He had aspirations beyond his humble beginnings, goals that would take him to the skyscrapers of Metropolis and the alleys of Gotham. Alex was going to be a superhero. Then one tragic day, tragedy tragically struck. He remembered he wasn't an orphan and by law would only be able to become a sidekick. Circumstances preventing him from achieving his dream, Alex's mind fractured and he now spends his nights writing about the darkest horrors that plague the recesses of his twisted mind and black heart. His days are filled being the dutiful sidekick the law requires him to be, until he can one day be the hero the world (or at least New Jersey) needs.

Alex was first published in 2010, and he's since published over a dozen short stories, including his award winning collection "Nightmare Noir." Alex is a two time winner of the Preditors & Editors Best Horror Short Story of the year. Alex lives with his wife and their two cats, Leonidas and Miles Davis.

My name is Andrew Kurtz and I am a horror author.

I have not published any novels as of yet, but am in numerous anthologies, which you can view by going to my author link.

As a child I have loved horror, whether it was watching a horror film or reading horror literature.

I am a comic book collector and have an extensive library of book, mainly horror and science fiction.

If you ask me what my favorite horror film is, I can not answer because there are so many that I love.

Jason Voorhees murders at CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE, Michael Myers slaughters in HADDONFIELD, Freddy Kruger causes nightmares on ELM STREET, and I write horror short stories.

My vampires do not drink blood, they devour it. The werewolves in my stories do not resemble four legged dogs, but bipedal monstrosities that have an undying bloodlust during the full moon.

If you are looking for happy endings then do not read my stories because will be disappointed.

My characters die in the most gory manner possible and whether the are new born infants or 90 year old does not matter.

We all love dogs and cats. In my stories they are torn to pieces while still alive.

My human monsters are not who they seem to be because my tales of terror are full of twists and turns.
