Dr. Chesya Burke (Co-Editor and Introduction) has been called brilliant, diabolical, and relentlessly steadfast when it comes to social issues. She admits, not-so-reluctantly, that she can be one, or all, of these things depending on the circumstances. Full of Kentucky grit and ambition, she holds four degrees, including a Ph.D. from the University of Florida. Her most recent publications can be found in Out There Screaming, edited by the horror juggernaut, Jordan Peele; the Amazon Original Podcast, I Hear Fear; and on the scholarly front, her monograph, Hero Me Not, was published by Rutgers University Press.
