J.:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - A.J. Grea is an author and screenwriter living in East Tennessee with his husband of twenty years, three snarky cats, and a meddlesome squirrel who will not stay away from the windows. A lover of 80s horror, he began writing short stories at the age of nine. One of his first stories, \"The Monster Who Ate My Brother,\" resulted in a parent-teacher conference, during which his mother had to assure the concerned faculty that his siblings were fine. When not spinning hair-raising yarns, A.J. spends time as most middle-aged comic book fans do--playing video games and collecting childhood toys that remind him of when his only responsibility was being home before streetlights began to glow.","brand":"Oakberry \u0026 Inkwell","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51807236620562,"sku":"9781968152093","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_1965f0e9-af5b-4f76-a2a6-24517f17ff0b.jpg?v=1766047130","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/vickie-van-helsing-the-first-bite-9781968152093","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
