So there may be a prequel written as that sort of book.
And I'm still slowly sketching out a sequel, which would be set months down the road after the end of 'I Found Puppets.'
But right now I'm finishing up another 'I Found Horror' book about the Boogeyman, and then I'll figure out what I'm writing next.

Thanks for your interest!

Hi Evan!
I've been writing since the 1st grade, when I wrote Batman and Spider-man fan fiction.
My first short stories were published in magazines when I was in college. I published my first novel nearly 15 years later.
So... I've been writing for 32 years, I've been publishing short stories for 17 years, and I've been publishing novels for 4 years.(less)

"Rating: 4,25

As a big fan of the mascot horror genre, I am glad to see more works that explore it emerge in the reading community. It's more common in games and I find that a great pity as it's a recipe for a perfect, nostalgia-fueled atmosphere. This" Read more of this review »
