For ten years, Loren Rhoads was the editor of the cult nonfiction magazine Morbid Curiosity. A collection of her favorite essays from the magazine -- called Morbid Curiosity Cures the Blues -- is out from Scribner now.

In addition to the magazine, Loren wrote about visiting cemeteries for Gothic.Net. Her short fiction has appeared in Cemetery Dance, City Slab, Not One of Us, etc., and in the chapbooks Ashes & Rust and The Paramental Appreciation Society. She’s written erotica for Unzipped, Sex Toy Tales, and Noirotica 4, with varying degrees of honesty. She's now part of a four-woman anthology called Sins of the Sirens: Fourteen Tales of Dark Desire, alongside Christa Faust, Maria Alexander, and Mehitobel Wilson.
