Elizabeth Matson was always a little spooked by scary stories as a child and avoided them until, as an adult storyteller, she found stories of the odd and unexplainable quietly creeping into her repertoire. She lives in Madison, Wisconsin.

Stuart Stotts, on the other hand, has always relished a nice eerie chilling tale, and continues to pass them on cheerfully to enthralled hordes of schoolchildren and audiences of all ages. He also lives in Madison, Wisconsin.
