About The Author

Brad Garcia is the new “Master of Horror” who grew up in Fayetteville, North Carolina.

BRAD, GARCIA—A BAD HORROR MOVIE CAN GIVE YOU IDEAS AND A GOOD ONE CAN STOP THOSE SAME KINDS OF IDEAS. FOR YEARS, I EITHER WATCHED OR READ ABOUT HORROR. AND ONE DAY SOMEONE VERY SPECIAL TOLD ME THEY THOUGHT I SHOULD WRITE A GOOD HORROR STORY. I REMEMBER IT WAS JUST AFTER WE WATCHED “TALES FROM THE CRYPT” AND I SAID, “WHAT THE HELL. WHY NOT TRY…. AGAIN?? I GREW UP ON HORROR BECAUSE IT WAS A BREAK FROM ACTION, SUSPENSE AND ALL THE OTHER GENRES. I FIRST LEARNED TO READ WITH THE LEGENDARY “CHOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE BOOKS” FROM THE 80’S. AND THEN I READ “STEPHEN KING”. THE MASTER OF ALL HORROR. I READ THE DARK TOWER TWO WHEN I WAS JUST FIVE. I COULDN’T REMEMBER MOST WORDS, BUT I KNEW OF ONE. AIRPLANE. FOR ANY BODY WHO HAS READ THAT BOOK WILL KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT. “CLIVE BARKER” WAS POPULAR ON TELEVISION THEN AND I WOULD ALWAYS PICK UP LITTLE SHORT SCARY STORIES AT THE BOOKFAIR, JUST TO SECRETLY SNEAK THEM LATE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT WITH A FLASHLIGHT UNDER MY COVERS. IF I WERE TO USE THE “DEVILS” PLAYGROUND, THERE’S NO DOUBT THAT I WOULD USE FIRE.. – DEC 2018
