Exposed to the weird worlds of horror, sci-fi ,and comics as a boy, Damascus Mincemeyer was ruined for life. Now a writer and artist of various strangeness, he's created comics for Heavy Metal magazine, crafted covers to eleven horror books, and spends his current time writing far-out fiction that's appeared in anthologies including: Fire: Demons, Dragons and Djinn, Earth: Giants, Golems and Gargoyles, Air: Slyphs, Spirits and Swan Maidens, Bikers Vs The Undead, Psycho Holiday, Monsters Vs Nazis, Mr. Deadman Made Me Do It, Satan Is Your Friend, Monster Party, Wolfwinter, Hollywood Holocaust, Hell's Empire, Hear Me Roar, Crash Code, On Time, Appalachian Horror, The Devil You Know, No Anesthetic, Thuggish Itch: By The Seaside, the magazines Aphotic Realm, StoryHack and many more.

In 2020, indie publisher Deadman's Tome released his (currently out-of-print) collection Where The Last Light Dies.

Hailing from St. Louis, Missouri, U.S.A, Damascus enjoys cooking, music, watching horror films that he reviews for the website Critical Blast, and wasting far too much time on Instagram (@damascusundead666)
