We’re coming back with more dark fiction to send shivers up your spines in the cold harshness of a January night. This show marks our transition to Saturday nights as well, so plan accordingly.

Martin Pousson was born and raised in the bayou land of Acadiana. His novel, No Place, Louisiana, was published by Riverhead Books and was a finalist for the John Gardner Fiction Book Award. His collection of poetry, Sugar, was a finalist for the Lambda Literary Award. His short stories were awarded a National Endowment for the Arts Creative Writing Fellowship in 2014. The stories have been published in numerous journals and reviews including Epoch, StoryQuarterly, Parnassus, The Rattling Wall, Cimarron Review, and New Orleans Review. He is working now on a story collection called Black Sheep Boy.

Travis Sentell was named one of the top thirty new writers under thirty by Random House in 2006, and was included in their bestselling publication,Twentysomething Essays by Twentysomething Writers: Best New Voices of 2006.
He has published work in such diverse places as the Berkeley Fiction Review, the award-winning collection Silent Voices, and the cult-journal Ampersand Review. His first novel, SINergy, was recently optioned for the screen with Mark Ordesky (Lord of the Rings trilogy) set to produce, and Jim Uhls (Fight Club) attached to write. His book, In the Shadow of Freedom (Atria, 2010) received positive reviews in over 200 newspapers nationwide, including the New York Times.

Benzon Ray Barbin is a writer and photographer from San Diego, California. Ever since he was a kid, he has loved science-fiction and fantasy. Aside from the staples of Star Wars and Star Trek, Japanese anime like Macross and the video game series Final Fantasy inspired him to write. Benn has an interest in intelligent, action-oriented stories. He is currently trying to get his novel, Reflections of Destiny published. When he’s not teaching English online or photographing, he enjoys listening to indie/electronic music on vinyl with his girlfriend Mary and drinking coffee from a French press. He has a love for football and will be disappointed when the season is over. He holds a B.A. in English from National University and an M.F.A. in Creative Writing from UC Riverside. Find him on Twitter (@seiken1), and if you’re interested, samples of his photography can be viewed at: http://500px.com/seiken1
