Scott Langrel was born and raised in Big Stone Gap, Virginia, a town nestled in the mountains of Appalachia. Which, by the way, is pronounced “apple-atcha”, not “a-puh-lay-shua”. His favorite TV shows as a kid were “Kolchak: The Night Stalker” and “Night Gallery” with Rod Serling. He was also drawn to books with larger-than-life heroes such as Doc Savage and Robert E. Howard’s Solomon Kane. He was (and still is) a big X-files fan, along with Lost, Supernatural, and The Walking Dead.
Scott prefers horror and thrillers where there is a real, supernatural villain as opposed to psychological horror, and he tries to incorporate such characters into his stories.
