1. Introduction

This isn't the first blog I've ever kept. I wanted you to know that in case you think I'm an amateur. It is, however, the first blog I've written for someone else. That's right. My blogging skills are so phenomenal that I'm doing other people's blogs now.

And who better to blog for than America's newest and favourite horror author, Milo H. Tomb?

Let me tell you some things about my good friend Milo:

He's a brilliant writer (but of course you know that or why else would you be here?).

His real name's not Milo H. Tomb. The publishers changed the name on his first book cover because they thought it looked better than Milo Tombone. I think he's a bit embarrassed by the whole thing.

He doesn't have time to write his own blog because he's busy writing books and signing them for all of you. (We're going on a book tour this summer, and you all should come to get autographed copies.) So, I said I'd sacrifice some time to keep it for him. This may result in me falling a little behind on all the things that fill my schedule like sponsoring starving children, adopting mistreated animals, and volunteering at the homeless shelter, but if you can't even be there for your best friend when he needs you most, maybe you shouldn't be allowed to mentor kids you don't even know.

All right. That's enough from me. From now on, this is only about Milo.
