Bradley Sands

Bradley Sands (Editor-in-Chief) is the author of the novel, It Came from Below the Belt(Afterbirth Books) . After attempting to steal all the spare change in a shopping mall's fountain by hot-wiring the sports car being displayed in the mall lobby and crashing it into the water, Bradley tested the claim that putting a thumbtack in a escalator's handrail turns it into stairs and embarrassed the pursuing security guards to such an extent that they were neither able to continue shouting menacingly nor have legs that functioned properly. Little did Bradley know, the escalator was an experimental model designed to tie a rider's shoelaces seconds before they were caught in the track and experienced a messy horror movie death. And that the fiendish escalator manufacturing horde had rushed the units in without first properly testing them. And that the thrust of the tack would cause a series of mysterious circumstances that most likely had something to do with radiation, endowing Bradley with the power to have people do the opposite of everything that he says. His new era of greatness began with telling mall security not to hurt him. He is now recuperating in Boulder, Colorado.

Janna Plant (Associate Editor) has an orange cat, a Clydesdale, and a Thoroughbred. Raised in El Segundo, educated on O`ahu, and currently studying at  the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics, she wrote The Refinery (BlazeVox Books), and has published shorter works with Tinfish Press and Hawai`i Review.  Janna enjoys all forms of life, carbon-based or otherwise, and she never lost her wallet in El Segundo.

Garrett Cook (Assistant Editor) is the Winner of the first annual Ultimate Bizarro Showdown and ignominious loser of the second. He works hard for the money but not too hard, still you‘d better treat him right. He is a writer of bizarro, horror, and neo-pulp fiction. It’s a steady job but he wants to be a paperback writer. Which is what he is and it is not a steady job. He is the author of Murderland part 1:h8, Murderland 2: Life During Wartime, and Archelon Ranch. He’s a ghost, he’s a god, he’s a man, he’s a guru. His book, Jimmy Plush, Teddy Bear Detective, is coming soon from Eraserhead Press. He is all out of limited edition preorders of this book. You snoozed and lost, motherfuckers. Also, he is a critic for Withersin and edits magazines or some shit.

Andersen Prunty (Assistant Editor) lives in Dayton, Ohio. He is the author of The Overwhelming Urge, Zerostrata, Jack and Mr. Grin, Market Adjustment and Other Tales of Avarice, and The Sorrow King. You can read his novel, The Beard, online at www.thebeardnovel.blogspot.com.

Karl Fischer (Assistant Editor) is just one of many pen names for the literary giant Bjorg Sundance, Destroyer of Worlds. Bjorg has appeared in thousands of publications internationally but is never published with his real name (a tactic to reduce fan mail). When he is Karl Fischer, he studies creative writing at the University of Colorado and sells exotic fish for a living. Under said name, he has been published in Space Squid, Everyday Weirdness, Bastards and Whores (who have yet to pay him), and Short, Fast, and Deadly. He is often seen talking with interesting people about interesting stuff.
