If you would ask my mom what books I liked growing up, I liked Dr. Seuss.

You know, I have a deep, deep affinity for Dr. Seuss.

We were a Seuss family. As a child, I read almost all of his books, but the one I loved best was 'The Lorax.'

I grew up writing about the paranormal, and I blame too many Saturday mornings watching 'Scooby Doo.'

As a child I loved ghost stories.

When I was growing up, Dr. Seuss was really my favorite. There was something about the lyrical nature and the simplicity of his work that really hit me.

Believe it or not, my introduction to scary literature was 'Pinocchio.' My mother read it to me every day before naptime when I was three or four. The original 'Pinocchio' is terrifying.

I loved growing up and going to haunted houses and being scared. I loved watching 'The Exorcist,' 'Candyman' and all sorts of scary movies.

'Oh, the Places You'll Go!,' by Dr. Seuss, is still one of my favorite books ever.
