Simon Strantzas was born in the dead of the Canadian winter and has lived in Toronto for more than thirty years, making a name for himself writing tales of the strange and the bizarre, tales that examine the illusions that mask our malignant and corrupting universe. Over twenty of these have been sold to places as Cemetery Dance, Postscripts, and The Mammoth Book of Best New Horror, from where they spread their sickness into unsuspecting minds. There. Did you feel that? You too have just been infected, and there is no cure but death.
