Bio: Lawrence Barker's fiction has recently appeared in the anthologies Carnival (Lone Wolf Press), The Labor Pool, Grave Possessions, Dead Winter (all from Cyber Pulp), and Tales from the Dark River (a spoken word CD produced by the Atlanta Radio Theater Company), as well as a variety of periodicals, including Thirteen Stories and Zahir. His darkly fantastic poetry has recently appeared in Astropoetica, Random Planets, Scifikuest, Erotic Fantasy (Tales of the Paranormal), and others. He lives just outside Atlanta, where he continues to produce fiction that, in the words of one editor of his work, is 'so Southern you can taste the tobacco juice'.
