ⓘ About Craig Schaefer
Craig Schaefer is an American author from Illinois best known for writing a series of crime horror and fantasy series of novels such as the Daniel Faust, the Revanche Cycle, and the Harmony Black series. He was an early bloomer knowing that he was made for a career as a writer from the time he was about four years old. Nonetheless, nobody ever noticed his talent given that at that age he also wanted to be a firefighter, a private investigator, and an astronaut. He was into a lot of other things too as he grew up, but all these would fade away with age leaving only his love for writing. Growing up he was very much drawn to crime thrillers from the likes of Richard Stark and Elmore Leonard, before he discovered the weird fiction and horror of H.P Lovecraft and Clive Barker.
