About the authors
Josh Reynolds is a professional freelance writer. In addition to his own work, he has written for several tie-in franchises, including Gold Eagle's Executioner line and Black Library's Warhammer Fantasy and Warhammer 40K lines. He has also written numerous non-fiction articles and reviews.
A complete list of his published works can be found at http://joshuamreynolds.wordpress.com/
Paul M. Feeney was born in Scotland in 1975 and currently lives in Aberdeen. He has been reading and watching horror, dark fantastical stories, and other speculative genre works as long as he can remember. With this deep love of story and the fantastic, it was perhaps inevitable that he would eventually turn his hand to writing his own tales, though it took him until 2011 to decide to write his first proper short story.
Since then, he has penned a number of diverse works, some of which have found homes in various small presses. His first published short (only his second written), THE WEIGHT OF THE OCEAN, was released by Phrenic Press in 2015 as a Kindle only. This was followed by a number of various other short story acceptances, through such publishers as Sirens Call Publications, April Moon Books, The Sinister Horror Company, and numerous others.
His first novella, THE LAST BUS, was released through Crowded Quarantine Publications mid-2015 (as a limited edition signed & numbered paperback; sadly, no longer in print). His second novella, KIDS, was published by Dark Minds Press mid-2016. His stories range from character and plot driven pulpy horror/SF, with the occasional dash of fantasy, to more emotive, reflective pieces. He is currently beavering away on various projects, including his first novel.
Published in early 2020 was CURSED, a Garrison Wake novelette, through Demain Publishing. This is the second Wake story to be released following THOSE WHO LIVE IN SHADOW, which appeared in the fourth issue of Occult Detective Quarterly. Wake is a shape-shifting private investigator in the city of Detroit, who often deals with cases related to the Shadow World (the collective name for all manner of supernatural and paranormal beings which exist in his world). The author has written a number of stories with this character, and intends to pursue many more, ranging from shorts to novellas and novels.
He has also begun writing quieter, emotive works (whilst still retaining genre 'flavours') using the pseudonym Paul Michaels. The first of these stories was published early 2019, in Corpus Press' In Darkness Delight: Masters of Midnight anthology. Also under this name, he contributes the occasional review for premier horror website, This is Horror.
A middle-school teacher, Justin Guleserian is a speculative-fiction writer and illustrator. In his spare time, he enjoys cat-training, lucid night terrors, and the Oxford comma. He lives in Phoenix Arizona with two feline minions and an ever-increasing hoard of Halloween toys and novelties.
John Linwood Grant lives in Yorkshire with a pack of lurchers and a beard. He may also have a family. When he's not chronicling the adventures of Mr Bubbles, the slightly psychotic pony, he writes a range of supernatural, horror and speculative tales, some of which are actually published. You can find him every week on greydogtales.com, often with his dogs.

- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 8 March 2019I wasn't sure what to expect when I bought this but I do like uncanny tales of the fantastic and so I found myself really enjoying this. The stories are excellent and the production quality is high. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great issue!
While I have made specific comments on some individual stories on the publication's Facebook page, this review is directed rather towards the, pardon the phrase, uninitiated. Most mystery readers would have some idea how a story might proceed if a detective discovers say a bit of ash at a murder scene, or a bloody thumbprint on the wall, but this publication invites armchair detectives to stretch their investigative imaginations in different directions.
- How might you investigate a scenario wherein a number of towns as well as some of your memories have disappeared, and the only link is various appearances of a folk music group?
- What could be behind the disappearance of a number of ventriloquist dummies?
- A disembodied, malleable human face seems to be working its way across France. Who you gonna call?
- Does having Druidic blood flowing through your veins give you the ability to track down a missing person and deal with a creature of legend?
These are only a few of the puzzles put forth in the current issue of Occult Detective Quarterly. If you are a bit bored with conventional detectives, perhaps it is time to sprinkle a bit of fairy dust in your Calabash, trade in the deerstalker for a cloak of invisibility, and take a walk on the night side.
(My only problem this time around was the lack of articles - which to me were highlights of the previous issues - I only hope they return in ODQ #5.)

5.0 out of 5 stars A new spin on occult stories
First off the larger size and print is nice. The stories were pretty unique, a few took me a while to buy into with, "oh man a hippie band and the occult?", but it was pretty unnerving and interesting story. Only one of the stories did I feel a little "blah" about. Love the cover art and some of the art inside. People should be supporting the efforts of this niche magazine if you like intelligent and imaginative writing. I wouldn't be surprised if Netflix and Amazon latch on to some of these stories as a show at some point.
