| Chat with Tim Deal (and friends) |
Timothy Deal is the editor and publisher of Shroud Publishing LLC, a Milton, NH publisher of dark speculative fiction. In 2007, Tim launched Shroud Magazine, the Journal of Dark Fiction and Art (a Black Quill nominee). He has edited three
anthologies, two of which were simultaneously recommended for Bram Stoker Awards from the Horror Writers' Association, with BENEATH THE SURFACE ultimately garnering the nomination.
In addition to Shroud Publishing, Tim has a day job as a technology industry journalist, and is working on a Master of Fine Arts degree. He's been a paratrooper, Army counterintelligence agent, and a police officer. He's married with three kids.
 Shroud Magazine publishes speculative fiction with a dark orientation. In addition, Shroud features original art, film, music reviews, and articles that illuminate the thin veil between reality and fantasy.
It is Shroud's goal to introduce the wonder and thrill of speculative fiction to a much wider audience. To that end, they have enlisted some of the top names in dark fiction to fill their pages. Their first issue alone featured rare and original work from Michael 
Laimo, Tom Piccirilli, Stephen Mark Rainey, and Tim Waggoner. In addition, their inaugural issue also included an insightful interview with horror master and award-winner Brian Keene. But that's not all! They have received hundreds of submissions from talented lesser-known writers and artists, and they are confident that Shroud
will play an integral role in the development and discovery of new powerful voices within the genre.
Shroud considers horror, dark mystery, dark fantasy and  suspense short stories up to 5,000 words (+/-). In addition, they are interested in tightly woven flash fiction, and (in some very rare cases) serialized novellas. Thriller and Suspense tales with a horror aspect are also welcome. 
Shroud has also published 5 books (so far) in the HIRAM GRANGE series. It's an ongoing series chronically Hiram's adventures as he fights to rid the world of evil.
(Tim may bring a couple of his authors to chat with him. Be prepared!)
