This issue of Apex Magazine was edited by NYT Bestselling author Catherynne M. Valente.
Catherynne M. Valente was born on Cinco de Mayo, 1979 in Seattle, WA, but grew up in in the wheatgrass paradise of Northern California. She graduated from high school at age 15, going on to UC San Diego and Edinburgh University, receiving her B.A. in Classics with an emphasis in Ancient Greek Linguistics. She then drifted away from her M.A. program and into a long residence in the concrete and camphor wilds of Japan.
She currently lives in Maine with her partner, two dogs, and three cats, having drifted back to America and the mythic frontier of the Midwest.
My friend Betsy Phillips has a short story (_Frank_) about a zombie in this issue that is really a treat to read. If you have any interest in erotic horror, I'd suggest you get your hands on a copy ASAP.
