Douglas J. Moore, when asked about his day of birth, will only say that there was one in May and it was just after midnight when a man in a dark suit with a satchel containing what most people believe to be the medicial tools of his trade at that time was present and tending to his birth and to his soon to be mother in that same hospital room and he remains the first and only male child of his father and mother. His father, like all men at that time, was in the waiting room and waiting nervously for news about his soon to be born son and, of course, his wife. There was no proof to be found that he had fallen asleep in the waitng room while he had been waiting for the arrival of his only male child and news about the medical condition of his wife.

She was, just to put your mind at ease, tired but otherwise in good condition after her son was born and he enjoyed the perks of living in New York as a boy using manhole covers as home plate and second base and cars doubled as first and third base and climbed over fences to play in buildings that were under construction during most of his early life in Corona, Queens before moving to Long Island and attending and graduating from high school.

Douglas J. Moore is a author of, as he describes them, sometimes short and monster sized tales where the things that go bump in the night and do the same in the daylight and sometimes under grey skies are sometimes a twist on the traditional canons of scary stories and sometimes are just about ordinary people gone bad when enduring extraordinary experiences. Douglas has described the introduction of horror into the real lives of the people that live in his fictional (?) worlds as not a easy thing to do and when the creepy, the macabre and the sometimes sadistic events but almost never gory works really well it sends a cold little shiver up his back and should you sit down and read them ... be sure that your windows and doors are locked and have a monster kit to protect yourself from the things that go out searching for human souls in the night. What ... you say you don't have one! Then you had better put one together and do so quickly for the monsters that do come out when the skies are grey and when night falls. Come to think of it, you'd better prepare another kit for protecting yourself against the humans that are their subjects or are just evil on their own!
