Staff Bio
I love a good spooky game, but I’ll play anything I can get my hands on. When I’m not gaming, I’m usually reading novels (Neil Gaiman, Peter S. Beagle, and Ruth Ozeki are my favorite authors), listening to music (Lacuna Coil, VOLA, and Ad Infinitum are my favorite bands), and baking. I also love mountains, coffee, and collecting Silent Hill merchandise.
