Craig's story of obsession--SERENA BLANC--will chill you.

Keith Minnion works for the Department of Defense doing document automation, Internet, and CD-ROM production.

Tim Waggoner wrote his first story at the age of five, when he drew Godzilla vs. King Kong on a stenographer's pad. It took him a few more years until he began selling professionally, though. Overall, he's published thirty-four stories and hundreds of nonfiction articles. He has several novels of dark fantasy making the rounds, and hopes an editor will soon have the good sense to buy one and make them both a pile of money. In addition to writing fiction, Tim's worked as an editor and newspaper reporter. He currently teaches writing classes at several colleges in the Columbus, Ohio area. He hopes to continue writing and teaching until he keels over dead, after which he wants to be stuffed and mounted in front of his computer terminal. Tim's psychological tale--All Fall Down--takes us to realms most fear to explore.

Keith Minnion did the cover art for NT #6.  He also provided a story for this issue. His bio is above.

Charles S. Fallis has been doing story illustrations and cover art for awhile now. He was voted "Best new Artist of 1994" by the S.P.G.A. and has published in WEIRDBOOK, AFTER HOURS, MINDSPARKS, PRISONERS OF THE NIGHT, PLOT, SHADOW SWORD, LORE, TALEBONES, NIGHT TERRORS #1 (that great nude on page 20 of NT #1 which everyone has been asking about was his) and #2 and a great many other magazines. He attends college in Salem Virginia where he takes art courses.

D'wayne "DINO" Murphy is a trained illustrator and graphic designer. He and Doug Jasko make up FLATLINE, an illustration team that works primarily in the genres of horror and sci-fi. Dino says he "...enjoys being able to create and unleash on paper the things that nightmares are truly made of .... I have always wanted to illustrate and build a career working in these genrés."

"Screamer" Doug Jasko is a graphic designer/illustrator and the other half of FLATLINE. Screamer says, "I've always enjoyed creating shocking artwork. Not just the in your face kind of horror -- although I do enjoy creating that kind of art -- but the kind that makes people think and will give them a disturbed feeling that something just isn't right. I like putting in just enough reality that it seems almost possible that this scene or person/creature could exist."
