Brian P. Easton
The son of a Southern Illinois pastor, Brian P. Easton grew up a fan of classic horror films during the 70's. His favorite was The Wolfman.
"When I was a baby, my mother used to rock me while watching Dark Shadows. I cut my teeth on a steady diet of Creature Feature and Night Gallery, the old school Universal Monsters and spaghetti westerns. I started writing when I was ten, after I was given a hand-me-down Royal typewriter."
He's studied the occult since 1985 and took a degree in anthropology to further his research. His first two novels were finalists in the 2003 & 2008 Independent Publisher Book Awards.
I'm a sucker for tragedy and anti-heroes. Even the most unscrupulous character can become the good guy when pitted against an evil greater than himself. My novels feature such a protagonist and deliver an autobiographical account of the awful price of hatred. It tells the life story of Sylvester James whose life is tragically altered by a marauding werewolf, and what happens when he hardens his heart to vengeance. As he becomes a man, he learns that it takes more than just silver bullets to kill a werewolf...it demands a perfect willingness to die. A prequel series chronicling the life of Sylvester's mentor is currently underway.
