Allison M. Dickson is the author of dark fiction with a speculative bent. Although horror is one of her biggest influences, she prefers writing stories that chill rather than splatter, that explore the shadows of the human psyche by answering the timeless question of "what if?"
She hasn't yet gained the ubiquity of her esteemed literary heroes (Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, Cormac McCarthy to name a few), but she is enjoying the climb up the ladder, and the chance to explore as many genres as possible, including contemporary horror and fantasy, steampunk and dieselpunk, and science fiction. Her work has appeared in The Absent Willow Review, Reflection's Edge, and in the horror anthology, The Black Garden and some of it is now available for download on Amazon, Smashwords, Barnes & Noble, and many other ebook retailers. Several of her short stories have achieved top download status in the Free Kindle store, and her novel Scarlet Letters: The Tale of the Vampire Mailman will soon be available in print. She's busy completing several other novels and hopes to acquire a traditional book deal soon.
Allison lives in Dayton, Ohio with her husband, two children, and a gigantic bobtailed house cat. When she isn't writing, she's often cooking, gaming, obsessing over politics, or doing freelance editing for her company, Allison Edits.
