About the author

A.P- Hooten, 28, Is from the gray & gloomy Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania region of Appalachia. He has been a life long writer and has always remained true to his tales of darkness, misery, suffering, and the perversion of the human condition. He showed a natural talent all throughout middle and high school gaining much praise from his teachers and mentors for the tales and essays he crafted. He has been praised by many local writers and has been destined to enter the ranks of the published artists of the written medium. He currently resides in an equally gloomy mountain range as that of his birth in West Virginia, spending much of his time there and further South where he draws much of his inspiration and influence. Being a product of southern stalk he uses the roots given to him to strengthen his art and deliver the twisted tales the horror lover desires. He is well on his way to establishing a foundation in the horror pantheon and earning his place as a beloved author of darkness. Tragedy brought him to the pen and it is tragedy that he serves cold on the butchers block of terror.
