Tim Mendees
Tim Mendees is a horror writer from Macclesfield in the North-West of England that specialises in cosmic horror and weird fiction. A lifelong fan of classic weird tales, Tim set out to bring the pulp horror of yesteryear into the 21st Century and give it a distinctly British flavour. His work has been described as the love-child of H.P. Lovecraft and P.G. Wodehouse and is often peppered with a wry sense of humour that acts as a counterpoint to the unnerving, and often disturbing, narratives.

Anthony Lacroix
Né en 1991, dans un petit village de campagne, Anthony Lacroix n'a pas encore atteint l'âge de la raison; mais est certainement encore dans celui des rêves. Son entrée dans le monde de la littérature, il l'a fait par les coulisses. Invité à plusieurs spectacles littéraires avec des auteurs confirmés, il a apprit l'art de la scène et de partager les projets de création avant de connaître la page blanche. Avec les années, il préféra partager le talent des autres plutôt que de faire avancer uniquement sa propre carrière. Cette décision l'a menée à l'élaboration de nombreux spectacles, d'ateliers pour des écoles primaires et la création d'une revue le Tintamarque et les éditions Fond'tonne.
