Filled with strange terrors and brutal absurdities, his writing bends reality until it cracks. He is a USAF veteran with B.A. magna cum laude and J.D. from Rutgers.

He had this to say about writing: “Writing is to the mind what exercise is to the body. I love the process from start to finish. Editorial acceptance, monetary remuneration, and public approval are nothing when compared with the irreplaceable feeling of personal accomplishment. Writing is a stroll through the insubstantial country of my mind. A land where I can see reflections of myself that are more me than anything I can find in a mirror or the eyes of others. it is an introcosm where I am truly free to see what I have done and yet may do, home to all my disappointments and discoveries, rememberings and reveries."

Mama creep is a 25-year-old amateur writer in the Philippines who likes to tell myths from her hometown and exaggerate them into another worldly stories.

Liam Pritchard is an author who finds himself increasingly drawn to the horror genre. This confuses him as he feels he is a happy go lucky kind of guy and, as such, he also dabbles in comedy. He has had sketches and jokes performed by News Revue and The Treason Show, among others.

He self-published his debut short story, The Girl With A Monkey On Her Shoulder, as a whim during a period of unemployment in 2016. It was very well received but he hadn’t quite got round to writing anything else to capitalise on the momentum and has since returned to the doldrums of obscurity and meaningful, if soul destroying, employment.

In 2019, he gave his posterior a swift kick and began writing again, and has, at last count, five short stories accepted for publication in various horror anthologies.

He presently resides in North Wales, with a girlfriend who is way out of his league and their cat. His eldest child will one day also be an author, when they figure out what plagiarism is and start writing their own stuff.

He enjoys roller derby, eating and referring to himself in the third person.

The literary character he most identifies with is Randall Flagg from The Stand. However, the literary character he most resembles in real life is Trash Can Man, from the same.
