Sarah L. Covert is a fiction writer currently living in Portland, Oregon with her adorable cat Misha. In the summer of 2010 she will be moving to North Carolina for some exciting new adventures with her husband. She grew up in a small (mostly rural) town outside of Pittsburgh, where her love for reading and writing science-fiction, strange tales and horror began. She was only 10 years old when she wrote her first scary story.

Sarah's interest in the unusual has landed her many fascinating opportunities. In addition to several published poems and articles for online publications, she also created an expansive mythos for an alien culture featured in a sci-fi board game entitled "You'n'IT". Sarah has even worked in film and television. She was Second Assistant Director for a zombie feature film called "Flesh Of My Flesh". Later, she worked as the Associate Producer of the local public access program "Northwest Artist Spotlight", and has contributed her talents to a smattering of short films. For several years she collaborated with Lurker Films, coordinating the "H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival" and "Zompire: The Undead Film Festival". Now she is here to bring you the latest in Science-Fiction, Strange Tales and Horror - news and reviews!

“Someone once asked what it was that first drew me to horror, science-fiction and strange tales. That's easy - Drive-In Theater Double Features. As a child my family and I would regularly go to the drive-in (back when they were far more prevalent). Usually they would play a "kid friendly" movie as the opener and a more adult movie later in the evening when the kids should have been sleeping. I never slept.” – Sarah L. Covert
