BIOGRAPHY As a writer, I was greatly influenced by the works of Stephen King, Robert R. McCammon, Dean Koontz, Ramsey Campbell, Thomas Harris and Robert Bloch. Rod Serling's 'TWILIGHT ZONE' and 'NIGHT GALLERY' programs helped shape my imagination for the fantastic at an early age. Additionally, I cannot ignore the influence of such horror film classics as John Carpenter's 1982 remake of 'THE THING', as well as George A. Romero's 'DEAD' films.
