Fang ‘n Claw

 Richard DuBois fell in love with monsters, horror, and all things spooky at an early age. An avid reader, Richard graduated from reading Edgar Allan Poe at age nine to books by Stephen King and Dean Koontz in his teens. With the birth of his son in 2008, Richard began writing for children. He wanted to give his son the kind of page-turning, sleep-with the-lights-on fiction he enjoyed so much as a child. In addition to writing, Richard’s main interests are physical fitness, hosting parties, reading, exploring haunted or abandoned places that more sensible people would avoid and, of course, being a dad. His ideal evening would be with his son and some friends, the lights dimmed low, a fire glowing in the fireplace, a bowl of popcorn salty and slathered in butter, and a horror movie on the television. He lives in Piscataway, New Jersey, with his son and rescue dog, Boris.
