Hincy: “Some people run from their demons; others sit down and have cocktails with theirs.” William R. Hincy is a man who does and writes about the latter. Having become a writer after deciding it was the only sensible thing for a problem drinker to do, Hincy aspires to use literature to connect society on an emotional level through characters who no longer create messes but have instead become the mess. Between rounds, Hincy has won 3 American Fiction Awards, an International Book Award, and his personal anthology of short fiction WITHOUT EXPIRATION was named one of the Best Books of 2020 by Kirkus Reviews. He now lives outside Los Angeles with his wife and kids, having found solace in the notion that the only things sacred are self and whiskey-winged interludes.Colin Dickey is the author of five books of nonfiction: Under the Eye of Power: How Fear of Secret Societies Shapes American Democracy; The Unidentified: Mythical Monsters, Alien Encounters, and Our Obsession with the Unexplained; Ghostland: An American History in Haunted Places; Afterlives of the Saints: Stories from the Ends of Faith; and Cranioklepty: Grave Robbing and the Search for Genius. He is also the co-editor (with Joanna Ebenstein) of The Morbid Anatomy Anthology.He has written on fringe culture, conspiracy belief, the paranormal and the occult, as well as death and dying, for a variety of publications, including The New Republic, Lapham’s Quarterly, The Believer, Slate.com, The Atlantic, The Los Angeles Times, and The Smithsonian, among many others.Socials: Web: https://williamrhincy.com/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@wrhincy Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/wrhincy/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wrhincy/Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/WRhincy Brought to you by Whiskey-Winged LitFiction for the modern reader.
