have had a few stories printed online and in the magazine Crimson which
was produced by Thee Vampire Guild (no longer running). I created this
zine to be able to enjoy the writing and artwork of others as well as
to make contact with others who enjoy the same subjects as me. |

Mike Phillips |
Mike Phillips grew up on a small
farm in West Michigan. In addition to hard work and responsibility,
his father gave him a very special gift. Each year during summer vacation,
the television, affectionately referred to as “The Idiot Box”,
was turned off. This meant that when not tending sheep, mending fences,
gardening, building furniture, chopping wood, or goofing off, Mike’s
summers were spent reading. In memory of all the wonderful stories and
things he didn’t understand at the time, Mike hopes that through
his writing he can, in some small way, share this gift with others. |
