Danielle Grant

Danielle is one of the debuting authors in the Sequel anthology. She achieved a Masters in English (with a focus on Medieval manuscript production), and her Bachelors in English and Psychology. None of which she uses in her current career as an administrative assistant. She is a fan of fantasy, speculative fiction, mystery, and horror. All of which is evident in her upcoming story...

Refracted
We are all just wayward light. In this gripping tale exploring the bond between a brother down on his luck, and his dedicated, rough-hewn sister, we ask and answer the question:
What happens to us when we die?

Sequel Author - Coyote Blues

Jasper Dent

Jasper lives and writes on Treaty Six Territory in Saskatoon, Canada. He has worked in multiple storytelling mediums including short stories, novels, and scripts. His main focus is gothic horror and weird fiction, in which he aims to explore human fears and failings, the dynamics of power and control, and to subvert and reclaim the more harmful tropes sometimes associated with those genres, particularly through a queer lens. 

Coyote Blues
Atim is a quiet town in the rural stretches of Saskatchewan. Everyone knows their neighbour, and life is provincial until a worker from a local fertilizer company, AgPo, gets attacked by a wild animal. Thomas Linden, a Saskatoon journalist, is sent to investigate, and finds far more than he bargained for.

Sequel Author - The Bell Tolls for Me

Victor Hua

Queer, trans, and of Vietnamese diaspora, Victor quickly found solace within stories. Whether it is through books, movies, anime, or video games, he surrounded himself with tall tales for as long as he can remember. Being able to write those narratives has been a lifelong dream. One that he has taken a first step towards with his debut piece in Sequel.

The Bell Tolls For Me
It has been years since the apocalyptic event. The world has changed. Everything has changed, and all that stands is Carillon. Around it, lingers the ever-present, and soul-sucking Fog; a death sentence for anyone foolish enough to wander its depths. Anyone, except for Asher, a Champion of the Bell of Carillon. But there are some things that even Asher cannot foresee from the Fog.
