Robert Crow is the finest author of horror and science fiction in his Middle Tennessee condominium, and arguably the entire complex. Born and raised in South Mississippi, Robert's writing reflects his Deep South heritage and his love for the bizarre and unsettling, as well as the darkly funny. His novella, "The Trail of the Beast," is an oral history of one of the worst mass murders in Tennessee history. His short stories can be found in the anthologies "Comfort Foods: This Ain't Your Momma's Cooking," "Beyond the Skyline," and coming soon, "Nashville Gothic." He is currently putting the finishing touches on his first full-length novel, "The Leaf." You can follow Robert on Twitter at @aircrow.
