Bio
Brett Alexander Savory is the Bram Stoker Award-winning Editor-in-Chief of ChiZine: Treatments of Light and Shade in Words, is a Senior Editor at Scholastic Canada, has had nearly 50 stories published, written two novels—In and Down and The Distance Travelled—and writes for Rue Morgue Magazine.
In the works are a third novel, Bottom Drawer, and a dark comic book series with artist Homeros Gilani. A benefit anthology he co-edited with M. W. Anderson called The Last Pentacle of the Sun: Writings in Support of the West Memphis Three was released in 2004 through Arsenal Pulp Press. His latest release is a novella called My Eyes Are Nailed, But Still I See, co-written with David Niall Wilson.
In early 2006, Necro Publications released signed limited edition hardcovers and trade paperbacks of The Distance Travelled.
When he's not writing, reading, or editing, he plays drums for the southern-tinged hard rock band The Diablo Red, whose second album, A Statue of Mary with Bullhorns, was released in 2006.
