When we asked Ray to give HORRORFEST some background information for his biography, this is what he submitted. We liked it so much, we wouldn't change a word:

"I'm 35 years old, but look younger and feel older."

"I've lived in Michigan all my life -- except for a brief period of time I spend in the Territories."

"I've authored over 45 books, including many best-sellers, under 11 different names and...no, wait, that's Dean Koontz. Sorry."

"I created Castle Schlock, which has been hailed by critics as' ...probably the best damn Stephen King parody newsletter of the 20th century!' "

"And I'm married with 2 children, so I'm no stranger to horror."
