Book description
You are the Hunter - destined to fight horror wherever you find it. The
Japanese island of Okinawa is rocked by a massive earthquake - opening a
fiery portal to the underworld! Terrible demons flood through, bent on
tormenting humankind and making Earth a living nightmare. Only you can
stand up to these unearthly horrors. Only you can send them back to the
depths where they belong. Steve Skidmore is shorter than Steve Barlow
and less hairy. He was born in Birstall near Leicester in England. After
managing to pass some exams at school, he went on to Nottingham
University to supposedly read English, but spent most of his time
playing sport and doing a variety of summer jobs including counting
pastry pie lids (yes, really). He trained as a teacher of Drama, English
and Film studies, before teaming up with Steve Barlow to become a full
time author. He lives in Leicester and is a great rugby fan (he supports
Leicester Tigers - "Come on you Tiiiiigeeeers!"). Steve Barlow
was born in Britain (in Crewe, in the county of Cheshire). He went to
Brierley Street School, which was like Bash Street only not as
sophisticated, then to Crewe County Grammar School for Boys (and what
kind of school feels the need, in its name, to remind its pupils what
gender they are? Hmmm?). He went on to study at Warwick University and
Nottingham University, and worked at various times as a teacher, actor,
stage manager and puppeteer. Then he went to teach in Botswana, where a
valid excuse for students not handing in their homework was 'A goat ate
it, sir!'. On his return to the UK he met Steve Skidmore, and the rest
is hysteria.
