Oh, ye sinners, come on down-to where redemption is just a safe word used by saints for their beloved tempters. Here, where we put sugar in our iced tea and dance to hymns in the blistering sun. Within the pages of these prurient stories and poems, the right hand of God kisses the fingers of the left, and Heaven and Hell interlock in ethereal ecstasy.
Allister Nelson (she/her) is a multiple Pushcart Prize-nominated author whose work has appeared in The British Fantasy Society, Apex Magazine, ILLUMEN, Eternal Haunted Summer, Renewable Energy World, Frontiers in Health Communication, The National Science Foundation, Luna Station Quarterly, Prismatica Press, Coffin Bell, FunDead Publications, and many other venues. Her work has been translated internationally into Polish and Spanish, and has appeared in anthologies alongside Graham Masterston, Bill Willingham, Jane Yolen, and Alan Dean Foster. By day, she's a D.C.-adjacent Communications and Marketing Nut ("Allie's a Natural Washingtonian: a mile wide and an inch deep"), proud staff writer at Pride With a Bite, and senior technical and science writer. By night, she dabbles in prose, poems, Greco-Roman found feminism graphic novels, and illustrations. In her spare time, Allie is a wanderer of graveyards, weaver of fables, caster of literary aspersions, and gazer at alien starships. She'd like to kiss Mothman one day.
