Ed Pessalano has always liked telling stories, especially scary stories.When just a young boy, he would love to terrify family and friends with his special brand of horror! Ed is a freelance writer, currently residing in the State of New York.He is also a passionate animal rights activist and environmentalist. Among his interests are watching classic horror films, listening to hard rock and heavy metal music, and writing poetry. Ed's primary goal is to achieve a best selling status as an author, and to entertain the general public with top quality storytelling. He has learned early in life that nothing is impossible. Rising in the morning everyday and striving for excellence should be a part of everyone's daily regimen. If you believe in a dream strong enough, it shall come to pass.   The authors I love are Stephen King, Anne Rice, Dean Koontz, and Stephenie Meyer. My favorite book is "The Time Machine," by H.G. Wells. I also enjoyed Stephen King's Pet Sematary, Dean Koontz's The Darkest Evening of the Year, Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, and Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series books. I also was fascinated by 23 Minutes in Hell by Bill Wiese. Also, I have published my own book of scary stories entitled "Night Shivers."
