A budding writer from New Jersey, Tyler grew up reading Stephen King, Peter Straub, Dan Simmons and Edgar Allan Poe. His goal is to write entertaining stories that grip the reader and to hopefully pay homage to the horror icons that inspired him by continuing the legacy of great American horror. Tyler worked as an editor on his high school newspaper, and submitted several poems and stories to his high school literary magazine. He is currently attending Atlantic Cape Community College in Mays Landing, New Jersey where he hopes to earn an associates degree in creative writing, and possibly use it as a stepping stone to get his Bachelor's.
