About the author

I wrote this one when I was a child myself, never had the proper timing to release
it in a world where everything changes so fast, I couldn't be happier that I did
wait before releasing this one. Along with many more of my Stephen King novels
this one ranks above them all. It's designed so that even an eight year old can read it, an introduction to the spooky scary books I write.
