THE
HORROR-WEB STAFF | |
Horror is not a new genre, it spans the centuries as
tales to entice behavior, irrational fears, a shocking reality,
or a form of entertainment to deal with all of the above. Horror
is meant to cause fear. That fear is connected to adrenaline
and reminds you that you are alive. It is that adrenaline that
spurs horror and Horror-Web. It is that adrenaline that we
are addicted to! In essence, horror is what breaks us down
to the bare minimum of a human being, reminds us that life
is fragile, and makes us wonder what's lurking in the dark
- or standing in the plain light of day... THIS is why we have
created and maintain the HorrorWeb -
where normal is relative and your nightmares are real!
Horror-Web is not just about one person, one person's ideas, feelings,
love of the genre, or desire to share with the world... Horror-Web is a hub for
ALL lovers of the genre, and as such takes several to make it work! More than
just members, our staff are actively involved members that take part in creating,
maintaining, information gathering, and brainstorming behind the scenes! So come
on in, here is where you will find
the gore behind the Horror-Web...

Bloody MonkeyZ [JimmyZ]
regarding: Owner, Webmaster, Book Reviews, PR, Advertising, Interviews, Special
Guest Chats, Conventions, and First Contact
Horror has always been part of my life. I have flitted around the edges of the small press horror community for the last 10 years. At one point I was part of a writers critique group. Much of my time has been spent with the desire to become a writer, yet day to day life has constantly gotten in the way of such aspirations. After my first taste of a World Horror Convention though, I knew there was no looking back for me.
Two years ago I quit my day job favoring the creativity and enjoyment of self employment over stability and a paycheck. Wait...Aw crap. Well, money can't buy happiness anyway. And my newly found self employment has allowed me to become the shirt guy for WHC as well as several other conventions. If I keep that up, I may just have some money to go with my happiness.
Taking the helm of Horror-Web seemed like a natural progression for me. A way to increase my knowledge and exposure within the community and I get a whole new place to make shirts and play! It even comes with instant friends. YAY!

Absinthe [Tamara]
regarding: News & Rumors [general], and Serial Killers
"I grew up watching classic monsters and my younger brothers and I spent many hours late Saturday nights being terrorized by Shock theater. What a thrill! Halloween has always been my favorite season of the year, and I prepare weeks before by soaking up as much horror as possible and sharing it with my unwitting friends and family. As a teenager I was reading Stephen King, Anne Rice and H. P. Lovecraft while my friends were riding horses and going to proms. I have been bitten by the evil horror bug and succumbed to its venom. Life is much better on the dark side!"

Flunky [Kali]
Flunky has high hopes. Moving her way up the totem pole she hopes to someday rise above mere flunky status. She is going to school to become a film maker. Hoping that someday minion will be showering her with accolades in the movie review section of Horror-Web. Or at least have to sit through her crappy indie film effort. She is often mistaken for the Goddess Kali but oddly enough not because of her name, but because of her extra pair of arms.

Bittercup [Diana]
Diana grew up in California but has since relocated to the Midwest.
Scary movies were a part of her young life, and as an adult her
interest has grown as she has grown. The movies she grew up with are
now being remade giving her an opportunity to revisit the films from
her formative years. Finding a home with Horror-Web, she now has a
place to speak out about these movies and anything else that strikes
her fancy. As her name suggests, don't expect to hear sweet nothings
pass from her lips to your ears. She is not one to hold back with her
words, so expect her cup to be filled with the tears of those whose
films invoke her wrath

Smart N Deadly [Sara]
Sara J. Larson grew up in Shelbyville, a small Indiana town where she was never more than fifteen minutes (by bicycle) from the corn fields. At IUPUI, she studied Religion and English, and took far too many psych classes. After a brief attempt at journalism, she realized she had no talent for telling the truth and went back to fiction. She lives in Indianapolis with her husband, two dogs and two cats, and spends her days making jewelry and her nights creating monsters.

Little Miss ZomCon [Wendy]
Little
Miss Zomcon grew up right next door to a cemetery. It was the closest
thing to a playground in her hometown. When she isn't writing horror
and dark fantasy fiction, you can find her preparing her pantry for the
impending zombie apocalypse or studying the history of evil. |

FreddysGirl [Kris]
Whether she is invading your dreams and leaving you in bloody tattered sheets as you wake up in a cold sweat or slipping between the sheets as she seduces you before drinking the blood from your jugular, Freddy's Girl will leave a mark on you that you won't soon forget. Just like Mr. Krueger left a mark on her mind that can only be seen by her psychologist (or with an MRI machine. House is still trying to diagnose her. Good luck on that one.) She has decided to lend a portion of her brain to Horror-Web as she begins writing her thoughts on the genre that has shaped her today.

PennyDreadful [Dawn]
Dawn "Penny Dreadful" Nikithser has been watching, reading, talking
about and writing horror since she was old enough to draw pictures of
ghosts in the margins of her Dr. Seuss books. Dawn is a corporate
writer by day and a thing that goes bump (and grind) in the night, by night, as a
member of the caburlesque troupe The Corsettes. She is working on her
first horror novel, as well as a series of classic monster short
stories and a number of other projects that taunt her brain on a
regular basis. |
