About the Author

Scott Nicolay is a master of the macabre, weaving tales that blur the boundaries between the eerie and the everyday. With a background in folklore and the supernatural, he draws from ancient myths and modern anxieties to craft stories that linger in the mind long after the final page. His debut collection, Cruise of Shadows: Haunted Stories of Land and Sea, showcases his ability to transform ordinary settings—be it a fog-shrouded ship or a desolate shoreline—into realms of profound unease and subtle horror.

A reclusive writer based in the Pacific Northwest, he continues to delve into the shadows, promising more chilling voyages for readers brave enough to embark.
