Stephen Mark Rainey A resident of Greensboro, North Carolina, from 1987 to 1997, Rainey edited Deathrealm magazine, which was winner of the International Horror Critics Guild Award for Best Magazine of 1995, one of the many honors bestowed upon the magazine. In its ten-year history, Deathrealm featured hundreds of short stories by authors ranging from the most established professionals to young, aspiring first-timers, many of whom proceeded to carve out names for themselves in the dark fantasy field. In September 2004, Delirium Books will release Deathrealms, an anthology of selected short stories from the magazine, as a signed and limited edition hardback. Rainey is author of the novels Dark Shadows:

(Five Star Books, 2004), and Blue Devil Island; three short story collections; and over 90
published works of short fiction. His short stories may be found in
