Jessie Lilley

Jessie Lilley (editor) is still here and delighted that Lynda Williams has redesigned the Mondo Cult website. Doesn't it look great?! Check her out at Baywood Design Studio. Let her know we sent you!

Your fearless editor allowed herself to look like who-shot-Lizzy on camera recently for a Tom Graeff documentary. You can view the clip below, courtesy of eRooster.TV.

Jessie is also the original publisher of Scarlet Street, the magazine of Mystery and Horror. Noting at some point that there was more to life than Sherlock Holmes and monsters, she moved on to publish the now much accredited magazine, Worldly Remains. Jessie writes Entertainment Criticism and Political Commentary. She's very happily reviewed film for Perth, Australia's Anglican Messenger as well as LA's Valley Scene Magazine before relocating to California's Central Coast.

Writing from her lower extremities is what she loves best. Jessie lives in Aptos, CA at the top of the hill at the end of the road, with her husband, musician David Paul Campbell, 3 cats, a carton of smokes and many cans of beer. - photo credit: Terry Wagner
