Perry Crowe has produced hard news, fantastical fiction, cultural criticism, and cartoons--and it's all here. So roll up your sleeves, put on a bib, warm up a pot, and gird your loins.

Some background: Perry was born in Mounds View, Minnesota, a northern suburb of St. Paul. He earned a degree in English, with an emphasis on writing, from the University of Iowa and then headed to Los Angeles to pursue work as a screenwriter. After half a dozen years in the entertainment industry, Perry wrote a book and ducked out of the picture show. Following years in the alternative press, Perry landed an editorship at the Los Angeles Times. He is currently the director of Editorial Services for Kirkus Media in New York City, where he is reaching for that brass ring.
