Stacy Walsh Growing up I was always drawn to reading horror novels and watching scary movies. I read The Shining when I was around 13 years old and by the time I was 15 I had seen the movie at least a dozen times. My idea at that age of an exciting Friday night was camped out on my couch with a bag of caramel popcorn and something terrifying to watch on TV. I've always had the desire to write my own scary or dark and twisted stories. Now I feel I have happily accomplished that dream! Thank you to any of my fellow fans of anything and everything creepy and strange for giving any of my books a try.
Books: Calm. Down. Dear.
Elizabeth Bird began writing at thirteen when she discovered a website called Fanfiction.net. (Don’t go there. It’s a terrible place.) In this fickle, tempestuous landscape, she honed her craft of writing and storytelling.
