Marc Layton is the internationally bestselling horror author of The Haunting Of Bridge Manor, The Evergreen Motel and The Evil Inside. The only child of American expats, he grew up on a farm in northern Germany, went to boarding school in a remote part of Scandinavia and then returned to his familial roots for University in New Hampshire where he then settled. As an avid traveler, a voracious reader and a professional antiques dealer, Layton is never at a loss for inspiration and ever since he can remember he’s been consumed by the things that go bump in the night. Layton lives and works out of a cottage near the water in Portsmouth, NH and spends his free time hiking with his wife and trusty Australian Shepard Lily.

Quotes by Marc Layton  (?)

“That I pissed off the Lady of the Lake. I thought everything ended in Manor, but it hasn't. Last night, I dreamt of her choking me. The other nivht, a huge shadow circled me and tried to enter me like it wanted to possess me. I can't stop thinking about it.”
Marc Layton, The Dark Shadow

“Reliving this dream made her heart race again. She had the feeling that she would not be getting any more sleep this night. She rose, throwing the duvet cover off. She breathed in slowly and tried to recollect herself. Tonight was one of the worst nights she'd had in months.”
Marc Layton, The Dark Shadow

“You all know, I fought hard in the trenches for what was best for this country. I watched men die in war, and I nearly got killed myself. One of the lessons I took from serving was that life is not guaranteed, and therefore we should live life to the fullest. I will not let my American dream die, and I deserve to be compensated for my service to this country, no matter who won. I made great sacrifices, and now this is a sacrifice that this county, this land, owes me in return.”
Marc Layton, The Dark Shadow
