S.R. Dixon's stories of horror and dark fantasy have appeared in more than a dozen print and online magazines, including Night Terrors, City Slab, and Black Petals. As a playwright, his full-length play titles include A Midnight Dreary, about the life of Edgar Allan Poe, and adaptations of The Nutcracker & The Mouse King and Little Women. He is a member of The Playwrights' Center and The Dramatists Guild of America.
For employment, Scott has held most of the traditional starving-artist jobs: substitute teacher, waiter, bartender, mobile DJ. Since 2003, he's been a resident artist with The Commonweal Theatre Company in Lanesboro, Minnesota. His greatest claim to fame, however, comes from playing the brilliant (but mad!) Dr. Smirnoff in Mutant Swinger From Mars from DarkArt Entertainment.

BEYOND MIDNIGHT
"The reader's answer to late night TV fright-fests." A.M. Stickel, editor Black Petals Magazine
A MIDNIGHT DREARY
From his hospital bed, a feverish Edgar Allan Poe revisits moments from his life and work. But, is he lost in a labyrinth of his own making, or being given one last chance to prove himself to his greatest critic?
"Scenes of exhilirating imagination, to be sure, and has been endowed by Dixon with a superb ending."
