I devoured every page of it. Grady Hendrix is at the top of his game." -Simone St. James, New York Times bestselling author of Murder Road "There's spells, there's witches, and then there's the magic Grady Hendrix conjures up in this amazing novel." -Stephen Graham Jones, New York Times bestselling author of I Was a Teenage SlasherAbout the AuthorGrady Hendrix is a New York Times bestselling novelist and screenwriter who owns too many paperbacks and not enough shelves. He's the author of How to Sell a Haunted House, The Final Girl Support Group, The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires, and many more, including Paperbacks from Hell, a history of the horror paperback boom of the seventies and eighties that won the Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in Nonfiction. (All the paperbacks are for "research" and he needs them.) His books have sold over two million copies and have been translated into more than twenty languages. He lives in New York City and will die there, too, probably crushed to death beneath piles of those paperbacks.
