"Michael Patrick Hicks is the author of several horror books, including the Salem Hawley series and Friday Night Massacre. His stories have appeared in more than a dozen publications from Crystal Lake Publishing, Death’s Head Press, Off Limits Press, and Silver Shamrock Publishing, among others. His debut novel, Convergence, was an Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award Finalist in science fiction.

In addition to writing his own works of original fiction, Michael is also a prolific book reviewer with a focus on horror, crime, science fiction, and thriller genres. His reviews have been published by Graphic Novel Reporter and Audio Book Reviewer, and a number of his horror-centric book reviews have been collected in The Horror Book Review Digest Volumes I and II. A third volume is in the works and is expected to release in 2025.

Michael lives in Michigan with his wife and two children. In between compulsively buying books and adding titles that he does not have time for to his Netflix queue, he is hard at work on his next story."
