Ty Schwamberger has kept up the good fight of keeping our fellow brain munching brethrens in the ground ever since he witnessed the first outbreak back in 1968 (which is a tad strange since Ty wasn’t born until 1977). Nonetheless, he doesn’t take any chances, and spoons under the covers every night with his double barrel shotgun… ’cause one never knows when an undead crazy might break through your bedroom window and come searching for a nice, hot skull-full of fresh brains to feast upon.

He is also the author of a novel, multiple novellas, collections and editor on several anthologies.  In addition, he’s had many short stories published online and in print.  Two stories, ‘Cake Batter’ (released in 2010) and ‘House Call’ (currently in pre-production in 2011), have been optioned for film adaptation.  He’s also an Active Member of the Horror Writers Association.

Assistant Editor:

It was the summer of ’77 when Thomas A. Erb learned the alarming truth about the coming zombie apocalypse. The horrific news came from two of the world’s most prominent sources in the fall of Man. Dr. George A. Romero and Dr. Richard Matheson warned that the end would indeed come and with it, the wrath of the undead with come with it.  And they would be hungry. Now, armed with over thirty-plus years of studying and combating the rotting puss-bags, he holds up in the second floor of his boarded up home and continues the study the shambling undead from his secure perch. He documents their necrotic behavior and knows someday, somehow, that old generator will crap the bed or the MR-E’s or Dt. Coke will run out. And he too will become part of the rotting horde. Until then… Let there be Zombies!

Thomas A. Erb is an author and artist of dark images and even darker words. His short works have appeared in several anthologies: Dark Things II, Fell Beasts, Relics & Remains, Cadence In Decay and Vampires Don’t Sparkle, and Shroud Magazine.  His novella, “Tones of Home” was part of the Twisted Tales from the Torchlight Inn collection.  He has also edited the zombie anthology, “Death, Be Not Proud” for Dark Quest Books.  He is currently working feverishly on a period zombie novel and is excited to tackle that market next.  He holds a Master’s degree in art education, and designed several book covers.  He helps pay the bills by providing freelance illustration and painting movable murals for the private and public sectors. He lives in upstate New York with his wife, Michelle and their two obnoxious dogs, Rask and Duchess and dreams of someday moving to a place where he doesn’t have to live through a snowpocalypse every winter.

 Assistant Editor:

Eugene has been a fan of All Things Zombie since he saw the original Night of the Living Dead when he was a child. He find it both fascinating and horrifying watching the dead come back to life to feast on the living, and ever since Romero’s classic, Eugene has been infected with zombie mania deep into the bottom of his cold, dead heart.

He lives in West Virginia with his family where he is not only a writer but also a filmmaker, having worked on a handful of films, including the short film Leftovers, which he executive produced. Leftovers was featured at Screamfest in Los Angeles and Dragoncon in Atlanta, Georgia. You can learn more about Eugene at: http://eugene-johnson.com/

Zombie Wrangler:

Adam P. Lewis has been wrangling zombies before he was potty trained. His first experience was in 1976 when he inadvertently tripped a zombie with a rusty Tonka Truck. The zombie’s legs swooped out from underneath its body and sent the creature flailing backwards head-first onto a metal-pronged rake, thus ending the zombie’s existence. Adam smiled, used a plastic shovel to scoop up the zombie’s brains and dumped them into the back of the Tonka Truck. Adam’s zombie wrangling career began.

Over the next several decades, Adam has spent his free time practicing zombie wrangling with .12 gauge shotguns, .308s, Kalashnikovs, hatchets and everything else menacing enough to inflict enough head trauma to kill zombies. When not zombie wrangling, Adam is Bigfoot wrangling. Adam has smelt Bigfoot, seen Bigfoot and when Adam hasn’t shaved in a week, he looks like Bigfoot.

Adam is also a horror author with numerous publications including short stories, novellas, interviews, essays, and lyrics recorded by national and world wide recording artists. He lives in the heart of the Adirondacks with his wife, two children and two cats named Bones and Spooky who sniff out zombie mice before they infest and infect his home.

Publisher:

Jason Sizemore is the ‘brains’ behind The Zombie Feed. He’s a writer/editor/publisher (see ApexBookCompany.com) currently living in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. He’s a bit dull, so let’s get on to the more interesting facts…

Kentucky frequently suffers from floods, especially in eastern hills. Therefore, zombie outbreaks are a common occurrence (you know how it goes, water sweeps them up out of their graves, they start craving brains, and next thing you know you’re having to load your double barrel shotgun). Just so you know, there’s a reason the weathermen plead with people to not drive through high water–where there’s a flood, there will be zombies.

Jason graduated from Transylvania University (for real!). He claims to have never met a vampire during his four years of studies, but he’s not convinced he didn’t catch a bloodletting virus while there. Jason maintains pale, smooth skin, an aversion to daylight, and likes to wear capes when nobody is watching. Vampire like attributes, perhaps, but not necessarily a vampire.

All the same, Sizemore currently hates most vampire fiction. It has turned into the domain of tweens and people who enjoy movies sporting young, shirtless boys fighting each other over a bland, directionless female protagonist.

Mr. Sizemore has survived two zombie invasions. The first occurred during the great Big Creek flood event of 1990. At the ripe age of 16, he made his first ‘kill’ when he speared a particularly rotten animated corpse through the head with a wooden mop handle. The second occurred in 2004 after the massive ice storm that hit Lexington, KY. Local news looped footage of him leading a group of five undead into a downed, live electric line, thereby saving a group of children who had been snowball fighting. He became a local hero.

And now here he is offering zombie fiction to the masses, once again hoping to play the hero card to ravenous readers across the world.
