A propos du livre

Biographie de l'auteur

K. Edwin Fritz came into this world on October 31st, 1974, and as a pre-teen he used this intriguing detail to monopolize the local trick-or-treating industry. He hasn't changed much as an adult. He discovered the infinite wonders of the written word at the age of 16 upon delving into the pages of Stephen King's The Stand. A year later he had begun writing his own stories, and before graduating college he had more than 100 pages of his first novel already drafted. Today he teaches Language Arts to 8th graders and writes to his heart's content during his spare time. The best of those moments are by moonlight. The worst of them are also by moonlight. While some of his fiction is categorized as Young-Adult, more and more over the years is a curious mix called Literary Horror, two worlds which he believes are naturally suited for each other. For what better way to make an important statement about the world around you than by first getting people's attention by creeping them out? K. Edwin and his wife, Corina, live in Allentown, Pennsylvania. She has a local bakery which warrants his frequent trips to the gym. It seems he is still monopolizing sugary treats.
