Ever wished you'd stayed at home? Rowan Vane, a wannabe writer with the confidence of a leaf in a hurricane, is on a soul-searching vacation with his damaged family in Hell's Gulf - a ramshackle, no-horse stain on Florida's reputation. You might be forgiven for asking why he'd go there, but forgiveness isn't much of a commodity amongst the denizens of this godforsaken place - they've a bit of an axe to grind. With a history as dark and pungent as its waters, this bit-too-quiet beach town in the navel of nowhere is patrolled by a delightfully xenophobic sheriff who sees 'foreign agents' arriving on every rotten jetty. This picturesque town boasts abandoned ghostly ruins, unusually amorous sea life, mutant creatures and dastardly deeds that form the stories of the town's affable alcoholics. Oh, and something's been killing the people here for decades. Yes, folks, Hell's Gulf really has it all. All you need is a little imagination. Fortunately, Rowan's brought his along with all the bells and whistles. And some fishing tackle.
A video editor by trade, Nick Carlson also harbors a strong passion for horror writing. Alongside a self-published novel and anthology contributions, he regularly pens short stories for the horror entertainment site Chilling Tales For Dark Nights. Nick's love of the genre coincides with his fascination with the natural world and its more unsavory denizens. He'll willingly free-handle spiders and snakes (and give you a biology lesson to boot), and whenever he finds himself on the beach he'll reel in stingrays and man-sized sharks from the sea...but it's the safe and speedy release that he cherishes the most. On top of all that, Nick is an avid hiker, classical composer, and organist.
