John Craig
"The Belly of the Night"

John cites Clint Eastwood as having always said his movies were intended for the guy who comes home from a hard day on the job and just wants to crack a beer and relax — "and that's the way I write," says John. He had a story in Spellbound magazine which he believes folded after three issues, but swears it "wasn't his fault." John lives in southern CA with his wife ("who won't read my "scary stories" — just like dessert: more for us then — ed.) and daughter. His future plans include becoming a best selling author and living in a villa in France.

Rew X serves as editor for an on-line magazine of speculative fiction that you've probably never heard of. He does other things too. Like climb rocks, play Ultimate, write stories, does graphic design, eat pierogis, and read books. Sometimes he takes showers. Check out his publications and some exclusive fiction at the mother of all sites, Owlsoup.com (And yes, by the way, he paid an exorbitant amount for this shameless plug. We sucked him dry. No really).
