Michael Burke is a lifelong fan of fantasy, science fiction, and horror, propelled into these realms at a tender age when he discovered his father's cache of pulp novels. A passion for comic books soon followed. In 2000, Michael co-founded the Eisner-award-winning comic and collectible store, Comicazi, in Somerville, MA.
When not sorting the comic stacks at work, Michael can be found at home, releasing the hobgoblins of his mind into story form. He has been published in Whetstone:Amateur Magazine of Pulp Sword and Sorcery, The Horror Zine, Witch House, Northern Frights, ResAliens, and the 80s-themed anthology, Totally Tubular Terrors. Healsohas stories in Dan Brereton's Swordplay, Contact 2:Blood and Steel, Monster Fight at the O.K. Corral, and a weird western novella in Crystal Lake's Dark Tide series. A sword and sorcery collection, Fragments of a Greater Darkness, was recently released from Tule Fog Press.
Michael lives outside of Boston, MA with his wife, more books than he can possibly read, and continues writing every chance he gets. His inner 11-year-old thinks middle age isn't all that bad.
