CAROL GYZANDER

Meet this incredible woman of horror!

Carol Gyzander was a prolific reader of classic science fiction and Agatha Christie mysteries in her early days. Now that her kids have flown the coop, she writes and edits horror, dark fiction, and sci-fi stories set in various time periods from her couch, with a Velcro cat firmly attached to her side.


Carol has short stories in over a dozen anthologies. Her most recent story, "The Yellow Crown" in UNDER TWIN SUNS: ALTERNATE HISTORIES OF THE YELLOW SIGN, gives a new take on Robert W. Chambers’s classic work of weird fiction, The King in Yellow (1895). Edited by James Chambers, it is being released by Hippocampus Press on June 29. She's honored to have her story among great authors such as Joseph S. Pulver, Sr., Lisa Morton, John Langan, Sarah Read, Darrell Schweitzer, Greg Chapman, JG Faherty, Todd Keisling, Linda Addison, Tim Waggoner, and a dozen other awesome authors.


Carol is honored to have a dark fantasy story in the alternative Beatles anthology, ACROSS THE UNIVERSE: TALES OF ALTERNATIVE BEATLES, with some astounding authors such as Spider Robinson, Gregory Benford, David Gerrold, Pat Cadigan, Jody Lynn Nye, Gregory Frost, Cat Rambo, Keith R.A. DeCandido, Gordon Linzner, and Sally Wiener Grotta.


Other recent anthologies include STORIES WE TELL AFTER MIDNIGHT, CAT LADIES OF THE APOCALYPSE, HELL'S HIGHWAYS, THE DEVIL'S DUE, and HELL'S MALLS. Carol also has a number of short stories and poems in charity-based anthologies supporting breast cancer and Alzheimer's research.


She’s the Editor of Writerpunk Press, which creates anthologies of various genres of ’punk stories based upon classics.


Carol is quite busy with the Horror Writers Association as Chapter Program Co-Coordinator, Co-Coordinator of the NY Chapter, and co-host of Galactic Terrors, the monthly online reading series every second Thursday. See HWANY.org for more info!
