 I’m pretty much a skeptic across the board—I don’t really believe in the supernatural in any capacity. This might seem incongruous with my love of Horror fiction and movies… or maybe not. I’m guessing there are few people who think that vampires, werewolves, zombies, and masked, near-immortal killers, etc., actually exist.

Every book, no matter how successful, went through many edits and changes. Occasionally, the public gets to see these original versions, which in some cases, were very different. Following is a list of a few of the most notable examples.
