About the Author

Biography

Michael West is the bestselling author of Cinema of Shadows, Spook House, The Wide Game, Skull Full of Kisses, and the critically-acclaimed Legacy of the Gods series. He lives and works in the Indianapolis area with his wife, Robin, a poet and librarian with a Ph.D. in Parapsychology and Paranormal Studies.

They were married on Halloween night.

When not working on his latest project, you can normally find West in a darkened movie theater or at various Horror Conventions – signing copies of his work and talking all things frightening with his faithful readers.
