About the author

Growing up in Connecticut, Doug Rinaldi was always a creative soul. From exploring the local library to the woods near his home, he was constantly envisioning otherworldly scenarios that sparked his imagination and led to the creation of terrifying tales about devious lunch ladies and monstrous creatures that threatened to devour the world.

As he grew older, Doug's love for creating never wavered. Whether it was through drawing, graphic design, or writing, art was always at the forefront of his life. In 1995, he received his degree in Computer Animation and Special Effects for stage and screen, but it was writing dark fiction that truly captured his heart.

At the turn of the millennium, Doug said goodbye to his home state and set out to hone his craft farther north. He has since spent years working to perfect his writing and artistic skills, bringing to life twisted and terrifying stories that keep readers on the edge of their seats. With a vivid imagination and a passion for the macabre, Doug's work is not for the faint of heart.
