From the day he first learned to read, Mario Carić's love for genre fiction had played a crucial role in his writing career, which spans both prose and video games, along with inspiring his career of a physical anthropologist. Beside publications in academia, his fiction has appeared in Crimson Quill Quarterly, Savage Realms Monthly, and Swords and Sorcery Magazine, among others, as well as in several anthologies such as The Hunt, Apologue of the Immortals, and Dragon Gems.
