5. Abra-Cadaver by Matt Drabble
   Born in Bath, England in 1974, a self-professed "funny onion", equal parts sport loving jock and comic book geek. From an early age reading so many works of varied authors I took the somewhat foolhardy decision to attempt my own novel. I now have five novels on Amazon, "Asylum - 13 Tales of Terror", "Gated", "Rapture Falls" and "Vengeance has Fangs" and my newest novel "Abra-Cadaver" Perhaps one day I will be able to list my publishing achievements and literary awards but for now I simply hope to have produced an interesting piece of work that entertains with a modicum of intelligence. I have always been an avid fan of the Horror/Supernatural genres and find that many great works in this field are automatically dismissed due to their subject matter.
6. Who Am I? The Chronicles of Cain By Dion E. Cheese
   Dion Cheese is an aspiring writer from Plainfield, New Jersey, with vivid hopes of mainstream success within the broad literature arena having a natural ability and strong passion for writing due to his creative background. In the early ’90s, he has been a featured rap artist in Black Beat and Teen Machine. He was mentored by his older sibling DJ Cheese (King Kut) who was signed to Profile Records in the late ’80s, touring with famous groups such as Run-DMC, LL Cool J, Will Smith, and the likes thereof. Dion has learned to push himself in this creative field while serving what initially was a twenty-year sentence in 1997 (later reduced to sixteen years) in the Federal Bureau of Prisons. He started writing his first novel, Who Am I? The Chronicles of Cain, while doing disciplinary time in late 2010. He presently is pursuing his dreams on the outside as a unique author who takes a whole new approach to the field of writing, taking well-known subjects such as the drug trade and inanimate objects, breathing life into them through the power of the pen.
7. WRETCHED by Clint Gleason
