Kel Byron began her writing career in college, where she would disgust her classmates on purpose. Inspired by works such as John Carpenter's "The Thing" and H.P. Lovecraft's "Color Out of Space", she began posting stories to Reddit's NoSleep forum as a love letter to creature features, body horror, and the fear of the unknowable. To her surprise, the "Lonely Broadcast" series gained a modest but loyal following and inspired her to continue disgusting people on purpose. Kel currently lives in Michigan and spends her time doing animal rescue work and being a general nuisance.

Klappentext

If you find yourself driving down a winding mountain road near an endless stretch of pines, try tuning in to 104.6 FM: the radio station that shouldn't exist. The village of Pinehaven has a secret of monstrous proportions. Evelyn McKinnon, a radio host falling on hard times, finds herself utterly unprepared when she learns that the radio station isn't just for entertainment. It's a watchtower. She's stalked by a bird with human eyes. Her new co-host won't stop singing show tunes. And when the fog rolls in, the beasts of Pinehaven Forest begin their brutal hunt. Evelyn and her friends are suddenly face-to-face with something much scarier than ravenous flesh-giants and vengeful spirits: responsibility. 'A Lonely Broadcast' is a darkly comedic tale that mixes elements of cosmic horror, gruesome gore, and a touching story about friendship, grief, and finding hope when all seems lost. It's also the story of an unhinged woman's personal war with a goddamn bird.
