ABOUT THE AUTHOR

This is Keith R.A. DeCandido’s third Supernatural novel, following 2007’s Nevermore and 2008’s Bone Key. Keith has written more than forty novels, as well as a mess of short stories, a smattering of novellas, a bunch of comic books, a dollop of essays, a gaggle of eBooks, and many bits of editing. Most are in various media universes: Farscape (most recently the monthly comic from BOOM! Studios as well as several miniseries and one-shots), Star Trek (most recently the novella “The Unhappy Ones” in the anthology Seven Deadly Sins and a Captain Jellico one-shot comic book), CSI: NY (Four Walls), Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Blackout, The Deathless), World of Warcraft (Cycle of Hatred), Doctor Who (the Short Trips anthologies Destination Prague and The Quality of Leadership), StarCraft (Nova, Ghost Academy), Resident Evil (the novelizations of all three films), Spider-Man (Down These Mean Streets), and whole bunches more. The bulk of his original work is in the world of his 2004 novel Dragon Precinct. Keith is also a musician, currently the percussionist for the parody band the Boogie Knights. A fan of classic rock (Dean Winchester would approve of much of his iTunes “favorites” playlist), Keith is also a black belt in Kenshikai karate and a devoted fan of the New York Yankees.
