When he's not deep in the dusty archives of his medieval blog, www.MadMedieval.com (you know, "working"), Etan Layom is usually off exploring another corner of the globe. His "adventurous spirit" involves a lot of airline travel and an unsettling affection for spooky tales, which, shockingly, inspired his medieval horror novel. A self-proclaimed BBQ enthusiast and "seasoned traveler" (who knows the precise thread count of every hotel towel and will judge accordingly), he expertly blends his worldly curiosity with a truly twisted imagination. Enjoy the nightmares.
