About
Jack Kincaid is a multitalented creative person. He is a writer, an audio producer, a voice actor, a sound designer, and a pragmatic musician, among other things.
He writes speculative fiction with an emphasis on the strange, the eerie, and the mysterious. Having amassed a bank of long-form works, he is an experienced novelist, but did not pursue publication for many years, so as to make sense of the changing landscape in publishing and to redirect his creative energies into new forms. He will be returning to his novel writing work through 2013, during which news can be expected on that front.
Though short stories are unusual events for him, he had a handful published in such venues as Insidious Reflections Magazine, Surreal Magazine, and the paperback anthology ‘Exit Laughing’ from Hellbound Books.
He also self produces stories in audio form.
Founder of Slipgate Nine Entertainment, Jack is the producer and creator of the modern-styled audio drama series “Edict Zero – FIS”. Taking his first big step into the realm of science fiction, he has cultivated this cyberpunk tale since early 2010. He hopes his writerly and actor instincts, combined with his interests in music and the art of sound in all its forms, will be the perfect storm for his new creative pursuits with the modern style of audio drama.
He is also known for the horror podcast audiobook drama, “Hoad’s Grim” (2008-2009), and as an influential figure in the art of machinima with his early alter-ego work, “The Seal of Nehahra”, a three-plus hour work of fan fiction that was released in 2000 with an multi-episode game add-on for Id Software’s “Quake” (1).
A diverse voice actor with a theatrical background, he has played a multitude of roles in his above-mentioned endeavors. His voice and music have also appeared in various other podcasts (including “The Geek’s Guide to the Galaxy” and the “Lightspeed Magazine” podcast); other audio drama shows (such as ’19 Nocturne Boulevard’ and ‘Lightning Bolt Theater of the Mind’); and other places (such as the book trailers for the John Joseph Adams anthologies “Seeds of Change” and “Wastelands : Stories of the Apocalypse”).
He has been involved with the audio component of the major science fiction publication, Lightspeed Magazine, from its beginning. Starting April 2012, he became the host of the Lightspeed Magazine story podcast.
He now hosts the podcast for a new horror publication, Nightmare Magazine, in October.
