Anna Sinjin
Anna Sinjin grew up binging on fantasy and horror. Movies, books, music… And when outside stimuli weren’t available, her imagination took charge and carried the torch. The result? The ability to keep herself entertained at all times. And a healthy fear of what might be lurking under her bed.
Buy books on Amazon
Anna lives with her husband and son in a small Nebraska town, surrounded by cows and her own overactive imagination. Her home might be a tad barren of fantasy for her imagination to play with, but when the fog rolls in and erases the outside world, there’s plenty of horror in which to indulge. -

Bizarro

Bizarro fiction is a contemporary literary genre, which often uses elements of absurdism, satire, and the grotesque, along with pop-surrealism and genre fiction staples, in order to create subversive, weird, and entertaining works. We read that stuff (someone has to) and then write publicly to one another here about the experience of reading it. If you join this group, you can too.
