Stacy Rich – Oklahoma
Blog Editor

From growing up in a sleepy 19th century town to discovering Poe before double digits, Stacy has a deep seeded interest in ghosts, true crime, horror, and macabre. When she isn’t reading HorrorAddicts.net content before it is published, (the best perk of her job bwahaha) she is spending the limited amount of time she has left of her sons’ childhood with them, going to awesome punk, noise and acoustic concerts or festivals, traveling, and listening to podcasts. She is a big time podcast junkie. What’s her favorite podcast? HorrorAddicts.net of course!

Head of Publishing
Writer / Content Creator

Dan is a goth-geek, born in Phoenix, AZ. He’s been a fan of horror and especially vampires ever since seeing Bela Lugosi’s Dracula as a young child. He is the author of the vampire novel, Lilith’s Love. He is a fan of most sub-genres but prefers those that have a dark tale to tell versus pure shock-schlock.

adeliseAdelise M. Cullens – Sydney Australia
#NGHW Reporter

Adelise M. Cullens explains herself like this:  “I’m a hugger. Oh … and I write things.” I love to write, so I do. Writing, to me, is about sharing and connecting with people. I like to metaphorically reach out and hug people with my words! And as long as I am doing that, I am a happy clam. I hail from Australia, the land down under. (Where women glow and men plunder) More specifically, I am from the western burbs of Sydney. It is a truly magical place, where you can hear the call of sirens through the night and the sunsets are a bright watermelon from all the toxic pollution … but nah, seriously, I love it here. About my writing, I don’t tend towards any particular genre. So, if you stick with me, hopefully you will be in for some surprises along the way. To quote the great Sylvia Plath – “And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it and the imagination to improvise.”
