About the author

Thomas L. Vaultonburg

Thomas L. Vaultonburg is a poet, novelist, and independent publisher from Rockford, Illinois. He is the founder of Zombie Logic Press and Zombie Logic Review and co-founder of Wolf Twin Books. For decades, he has worked outside the traditional publishing establishment, writing and publishing literature that doesn't always behave itself. His books include the horror novel Necromancers Don't Read Toe Tags, the poetry collections Vanished Roads, Small Songs for Weary Travelers, and Submerged Structure. His poetry has appeared in literary journals internationally, including Presence, Acorn, Kokako, and Wales Haiku Journal. His fiction explores the absurdities of institutional power, the secrets communities keep, and the peculiar ways human beings accommodate the unacceptable. His poetry moves between humor, grief, nature, and the strange little revelations of everyday life. He continues to write, publish, and promote independent literature from Rockford, where he believes interesting things are happening whether anyone is paying attention or not.
