I live in the Appalachian Mountains of North Carolina. I'm the author of six thrillers, They Hunger, The Red Church, The Harvest, The Manor, The Home, and The Farm. I write songs, screenplays, graphic novels, really short grocery lists, newspaper articles, rough drafts of my own obituary, love letters in invisible ink, and diagrams for paper airplanes headed for black holes. I am obsessed with the words "Oreo" and "ouvre." My website is http://www.hauntedcomputer.com
