Praise for THE GATHERING (SHADOW HOUSE, BOOK 1)
“Shadow House has everything I love — strange characters, magic and the supernatural, endless danger and adventure — and a mystery I dare any reader to try to solve.” ―R.L. Stine, author of Goosebumps
“Poblocki‘s meticulously crafted narrative is chilling . . . A thrill for any reader who knows the only thing more frightening than an unopened door is being locked behind one.” ―Kirkus Reviews
Dan Poblocki is an American author of mystery and horror novels for young people. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island. During his pre-teen years, his family moved to Basking Ridge, New Jersey. His books have been translated into French, Greek, and Polish. Dan currently lives in Kingston, NY with two scaredy cats.
Dan graduated from Syracuse University with a degree in theater. Subsequently, he toured the United States playing ultra-challenging roles such as Ichabod Crane in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and the Shoemaker in The Shoemaker and the Elves to packed houses filled with literally thousands of screaming children. (He hopes they weren’t screaming in fear.)
Dan ended his promising acting career to focus on other endeavors. While exploring various artistic options, he held a number of jobs in New York City including: a floral groomer, an audience-wrangler for a popular game show, a computer analyst, a chemotherapy-unit assistant, and a traveling bathing suit sales-dude.
That’s right. A traveling bathing suit sales-dude.
Dan now writes full time. He’s probably working on something new this very minute! .

– 3 Winners will receive a Copy of THE MISSING (Shadow House #4) by Dan Poblocki.
Stephen King’s The Shining is the scariest.
It wasn’t a book, it was actually a fanfiction, but nonetheless scary. I forget what it’s called but it was essentially a messed-up version of a kids’ cartoon where the characters are the exact opposite of the way they are in the show. The writing had some gory detail and it just freaked me out.
C.L. Taylor’s ‘The Fear’ has haunted me all year and yes, ‘The Shining’ is way up there on the list, along with ‘It’.
The Shining by Stephen King.
