Paul Landry ("Buried Evil") was born April 27, 1966, in Toronto, Canada. His parents took him to the drive-in to see a horror movie, which he can still see vididly in his mind. Then he found Stephen King's world, read "Carrie," saw the movie, and has never been the same since. He would play sick to stay home from school to write. He read every horror book, comic, anything scary, he could get his hands on. Saw any horror movie that came out; the scariest was "The Changeling." Scared the hell into him. He only took up writing seriously a year ago, whereas before it was a hobby. But his hunger to share it with others has grown. He loves horror! And his goal is to be the Canadian Stephen King. <reaper1@idirect.com>
