The fun creepy stories Kevin Lazarus writes are rooted in his strange childhood experiences. Here’s how he describes his upbringing:

“The experiences of my youth were, to say the least, strange and unusual. My mother was torn between two worlds – Christianity and the superstitious culture of the Deep South. It seemed to me that everywhere she went, trouble followed. Not the kind of trouble you would think of in any normal sense. There were constantly disturbing occurrences that were almost always inexplicable. It would be many years before I would realize what had happened to her during her youth — a unique blending of Christianity with the superstitious (Voodoo) traditions of the Deep South.”
