Josh Darling fell in love with the works of Clive Barker and the anthologies put out by Del Books in the 90s. Throughout high school, he wrote gross stuff. Some of it got published. He started abusing words professionally in 2014 as a ghostwriter and book doctor. Under his name, his stories have appeared in anthologies with Richard Chizmar, Elizabeth Massie, Philip Fracassi, and Gwendolyn Kiste. His horror fiction has appeared in "The Horror 'Zine," "Siren's Call," and numerous publications from Hellbound Books. He started "Carnage House" feeling there are many publishers of splatter/extreme horror books but few for short stories. As an editor, he looks to help writers develop their craft, but primarily, he's famous for being unknown.

Jacque Day is the Carnage House founding co-editor and the former longtime managing editor for the New Madrid journal of contemporary literature. She works for Crystal Lake Publishing and writes for Memento Mori Ink Magazine. Jacque has zigged and zagged as a magazine journalist, book and magazine editor, radio correspondent, TV producer, motion picture crew member, university lecturer, and occasional comedy writer and producer. Jacque has an MFA in creative writing, but please don’t hold that against her. A member of the HWA, she lives in her home state of Pennsylvania with her childhood-sweetheart husband, Art, a scientist and the love of her life who fully supports every wacky decision she makes.

R.E. Dyer has worked as a teacher, a trainer, and a curriculum developer. Across twenty-five years, only a few trainees seemed to notice how the names in their lessons lined up with horror-movie casts. He is also a collector. As physical media died, he skulked the aisles, carting off movies like the bones of saints evacuated ahead of vengeful hordes. His weird tales and supernatural yarns appear in publications like Carnage House, Fraidy Cat Quarterly, and Dungeon Magazine, and anthologies from Ps and Qs Publishing, Samak Press, Terrorcore Publishing, and Eerie River Publishing. A member of the HWA, he lives in the wilds of Pennsylvania with his wife and two children under the eye of a large, hungry cat.
