edit data

Shane was born in Auckland, New Zealand, but spent most of his childhood exploring the towns of Castle Rock, Amity Island, Dark Falls among various other dark yet delightful locations. A father of two, he takes pride in helping raise the next generation of horror lovers and kicked off his writing career as a means of satiating his kids’ hunger for the macabre. In the scarce spare time he is afforded, Shane enjoys catching up on his never-ending backlog of films and books or watching one of his sports teams knock a couple of years off his life.
