Cullen Bunn
Cullen Bunn was born in the bleachers of Newton Grove High School during an all so crucial Russian Chain match between Chief Wahoo McDaniel and Ivan Koloff, the Russian Nightmare. Just as Ivan was about to put "The Claw" on Wahoo, Cullen's mother screamed out, "Take this Ruskkie!" and hurled the infant at the ring, striking Ivan's bald head, then whipping the baby back by the umbilical cord. Stunned, Ivan was unable to recover before the count of three. The cheers of the crowd form Cullen's earliest memory.All right. Maybe not. But it is a lovely dream …
Cullen grew up in (relatively) rural North Carolina, but now lives in the St. Louis area. His fiction and non-fiction have appeared in a number of magazines and anthologies. Somewhere along the way, he founded Undaunted Press and edited the small press horror magazine, Whispers from the Shattered Forum. He also managed to win the infamous World Horror Convention Gross-Out Contest three times, an honor for which he is proud, appreciative, and–at least a little–ashamed. Along with several other horror authors, he contributes a serialized horror story, "Countless Haints," to the online shared world, Ominous Landing.
He's always looking for a re-match with Ivan, should the opportunity arrive. Bring it, Russkie!
