Chizmar’s work has been translated into more than fifteen languages throughout the world, and he has appeared at numerous conferences as a writing instructor, guest speaker, panelist, and guest of honor.
This is a great magazine for horror fans, highly recommend. I REALLY wish that they a.) Would make more of their back issues available for Kindle and b.) Make new issues available for Kindle sooner.
