Mike Allen is the editor of the anthology series Clockwork Phoenix and the digital journal Mythic Delirium. His first novel, The Black Fire Concerto, a post-apocalyptic tale of music, magic and flesh-eating ghouls, was published in 2013 by Haunted Stars Press, and he’s written a sequel, The Ghoulmaker's Aria. His website is Descent Into Light.
His first collection of horror stories, Unseaming (with a gracious introduction by Laird Barron, and which Thomas Ligotti called “seriously unnerving fun”) was released by Antimatter Press in 2014. (Unseaming contains all four stories that have appeared on Pseudopod – “The Button Bin,” — which was a finalist for the 2008 Nebula Award for Best Short Story — “The Blessed Days”, “Let There Be Darkness” & “Monster” and also contains the 19k sequel to Button Bin, “The Quiltmaker”.)
