Barbara Roden (b. 1963) and Christopher Roden (b. 1948) founded Ash-Tree Press, which specializes in supernatural fiction, in 1994. Since then, the Press has published more than 100 titles and won a World Fantasy Award and a Special Award of the Trustees of the Horror Writers Association. Barbara Roden was born in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. She read her first grown-up collection of ghost stories, which included Wakefield’s “The Red Lodge”, at the age of nine and was hooked on the genre from that moment. After joining the Ghost Story Society in 1990, she began editing its newsletter in 1993 and took over editing its journal, All Hallows, the following year. In 2004 the title won the International Horror Guild Award for Best Periodical. Christopher Roden was born in Stourbridge, West Midlands, England. He founded the Arthur Conan Doyle Society in 1989 and in 1992 edited two volumes of The Oxford Sherlock Holmes for Oxford University Press. Between them, they have edited and/or introduced a number of collections of supernatural fiction, including the World Fantasy Award-nominated anthology Shadows and Silence and the Bram Stoker Award-nominated Acquainted with the Night.
