More about the author

My love for everything supernatural and paranormal began at a young age, shaped by iconic authors and captivating television shows. One of my greatest joys has been revisiting these themes as an adult, especially with my daughters, who offer fresh perspectives and insights that make the experience even more enriching and fun.

I remember the first time I discovered Stephen King’s novels. The way he crafts tension and creates relatable characters pulled me into a world of horror that felt both thrilling and terrifying. Books like “Tommy Knocks” and “The Shining” became touchstones for me, introducing me to the psychological depths of fear. King’s ability to tap into everyday life and twist it into something horrifying resonated with me, and I found myself captivated rather than scared. His explorations of human nature, the darkness lurking beneath the surface, and the complexities of evil fascinated me. I didn’t experience nightmares – rather, I developed a deep appreciation for horror as a genre that reflects our deepest fears.

Conversely, Ann Rice introduced me to an entirely different side of the supernatural realm. Her books, particularly “Interview with the Vampire” series, wove intricate tales of immortality, love, and existential dread. Rice’s lyrical prose and the depth of her characters, like Louis and Lestat, made me ponder the implications of immortality. It was through her work that my passion for the supernatural was truly born, as I became enchanted not only with the stories but also with the philosophical questions that they raised. The emotional complexities of her characters drew me in and keep me enthralled long after I was done reading her stories.

As I grew older, I began to explore television shows steeped in supernatural elements, with “Supernatural” quickly becoming one of my favorites. The series’ blend of horror, humor, and complex brotherly dynamics brought its characters to life and kept me invested in their journeys. Watching every episode and season of “Supernatural” was an adventure that I realized, forging a connection with the characters and their struggles against various mythological creatures. Now, revisiting the series with my daughters has added a new layer to the experience. Their different perspectives bring fresh insights, and it’s a blast to see what they focus on compared to what I did when I first watched it.

Similarly, “Lucifer” captivated me with its unique premise and charming characters. The show’s combination of crime-solving, humor, and philosophical pondering about good and evil resonated with the complexities I appreciated in both literature and life. I found it refreshing to see a character like Lucifer Morningstar, who challenges traditional notions of morality while exploring his own identity and desires.

In addition to scripted dramas, my fascination with the paranormal extends to reality shows like “Ghost Hunters”, “Ghost Adventures”, “Dead Files”, etc. There’s something undeniably thrilling about exploring real-life ghost stories. These shows ignite my curiosity about the unknown and encourage a sense of wonder about the world we live in. They offer a different perspective compared to scripted narratives, blurring the line between reality and fiction, and forcing viewers to confront their beliefs about the supernatural.

Reflection on this journey, I am grateful for the lasting impact these stores have had on my life. They have shaped my interests, sparked countless conversations, and even influenced my worldview. My daughters’ reactions and interpretations have added depth to my understanding, reminding me that they exist to inspire dialogue and reflection. This shared experience, especially in an age where family time can be fleeting, provides a unique bonding opportunity.

Looking towards the future, my appetite for supernatural tales remains insatiable. There are many new authors, shows, and films that I’m eager to explore, each promising to deepen my understanding and love for the genre.

In closing, the realm of the supernatural and paranormal continues to captivate and inspire me. I look forward to many more nights spent immersed in these thrilling tales, sharing the experience with my daughters, and discovering new stories that will continue to expand my horizons.
