Leo HuntLeo Hunt wrote Thirteen Days of Midnight in his first year of college and signed with an agent the following year. When he was younger, he wanted to be either an archaeologist or an author, and when he learned that archaeologists didn't unearth pilesof perfectly preserved dinosaur bones every time they put a spade in the ground, he decided to write books instead. He says the inspiration for Thirteen Days of Midnight came from "a desire to write an homage to the horror stories of Stephen King and H. P. Lovecraft that I used to devour when I first started reading adult novels. So I started thinking about a Faust-type story in which the protagonist's father had made a deal with the devil and there were unfair repercussions for him." Leo Hunt lives in northeast England.
