R. C. Mulhare

13 works in English-language magazines

R.C. Mulhare has the distinction of reading a translation of the famous cursed play "The King in Yellow" without going mad, was a model for Lara Croft's looks and once successfully defended her day-job workplace from zombies, through some judicious use of clearance-rack garden tools... In actuality, R.C. Mulhare was born in Lowell, Massachusetts and grew up in one of the surrounding towns. Her interest in the dark and mysterious started when she was quite young, when her mother read the faery tales of the Brothers Grimm and quoted the poetry of Edgar Allan Poe to her, while her Irish storyteller father infused her with a fondness for strange characters and quirky situations. When she isn't writing, she moonlights in grocery retail, and given the cross-section of people you see in grocery stores, this gives her a lot of ideas for characters in her stories. An emerging author and member of the New England Horror Writers, her work previously appeared in Atlantean Publishing's "Beyond the Wall of Death: Lovecraft @ 125", "A Terrible Thing", and Awen 96, Macabre Maine's "Lovecraft ME", and FunDead Publication's "Shadows in Salem" and "O Horrid Night", with seven more stories due for release later in 2017. She shares her home with her family, two small parrots, about fifteen hundred books and an unknown number of eldritch things that rattle in the walls when she's writing late in the night....
