  John Manning

  Born on Halloween, John has always been fascinated by the dark and scary world of horror fiction. His earliest favorites were Edgar Allen Poe, Dostoevsky, and Charles Addams.

Dean Andersson, John Steakley, Jr., Lynn Abbey, Andy Offett, Steven Barnes, and Larry Niven. Evidently osmosis works, for in 2011 his first novel, Black Stump Ridge, written with his long-time friend, Forrest Hedrick, was released on an unsuspecting public. It has gone o

  Aristophanes

  Aristophanes (Greek: Αριστοφάνης; c. 446 – c. 386 BC) was an Ancient Greek comic playwright from Athens and a poet of Old Attic Comedy. He wrote in total forty plays, of which eleven survive virtually complete today. These provide the most valuable examples of a genre of comic drama known as Old Comedy and are used to define it, along with fragments from dozens of lost plays by Aristophanes and his contemporaries.
  Also known as "The Father of Comedy" and "the Prince of Ancient Comedy", Aristophanes has been said to recreate the life of ancient Athens more convincingly than any other author. His powers of ridicule were feared and acknowledged by influential contemporaries; Plato singled out Aristophanes' play The Clouds as slander that contr
