Andrea Merchak has been passionate about the horror genre since she was 4–5 years old and snuck out of her bedroom to see the horror films her father watched.

An avid reader, as a teenager she read a book by Stephen King and got hooked into the Universe of Horror.

Despite her background as a journalist, she never imagined that one day she would become an author. She thought, and still thinks, that authors are singularly gifted people who are able to take their readers to extraordinary, exotic worlds beyond imagination.

Because she thought she could never join their ranks, she was reluctant when her sister suggested she should write a book – and surprised when she found out she could do it just as well as some of her favorite authors.

Long story short, today Andrea wonders why it took her so long to realize her true calling. Her stories are pure, graphic, vicious horror that stays with the reader long after they finish reading.
