This is how one of Richard McCammon’s most popular series of books was born. McCammon wanted to try out historical fiction, because it is something he was always interested in. He produced the book, Boy’s Life, which won an award and was highly praised. In 1991, he decided to try his hand at fantasy and historical fiction novels. While McCammon is most well-known for his works in the horror fiction genre, he has since moved away from it. He said he did it not because he disliked them, but rather because he feels they don’t meet the standards of his later works. McCammon is one of those rare authors that actually retired some of his earlier works. He studied Journalism at the University of Alabama, and so began his career in writing. McCammon was born in Birmingham, Alabama, and still resides there to this day with his family. But let me backtrack a little and give you a background on this prolific author. He has had three books on the New York Times best-sellers list and won multiple literary awards for his work. American author Robert McCammon is one of the most influential names to come out of the horror literature boom from the 1970s to the 1990s.
