About Steve Behling

Just because Steve Behling sleeps with the lights on, doesn’t mean he’s afraid of monsters. Or maybe it does? Anyway. Obsessed with comic books and old horror movies since he was a kid, Steve loves to tell stories. Some of his works include the original middle grade novel Agent Stitch: A Study in Slime, the Marvel Monsters Unleashed chapter book series, and many others. Steve lives in a top secret subterranean lair with his wife, two human children, and an awesome shelter dog, Loomis, who is afraid of monsters because he is smart.
