Brett Alexander Savory is the Bram Stoker Award-winning Editor-in-Chief of ChiZine: Treatments of Light and Shade in Words. ChiZine (reviewed in issue 35) is a dark fiction and poetry lit-ezine that can be found at chizine.com. He is also a Senior Editor at Scholastic Canada, has had nearly 50 short stories published, written two novels and writes for Rue Morgue Magazine.
In 2006 his horror-comedy novel The Distance Travelled was released by Necro Publications. His latest dark literary novel In and Down was just released in September 2007 through Brindle & Glass. Finally, his first short story collection, No Further Messages, will be coming out through Delirium Books at the end of 2007. In the works are three more novels, and a dark comic book series with artist Homeros Gilani. When he’s not writing, reading, or editing, he plays drums for the hard rock band Diablo Red. All of these dark connections make Brett the perfect person to take on the Indie Artist in Residence moniker for the horror issue of Broken Pencil.
