Craig Schaefer's books have taken readers to the seamy edge of a criminal underworld drenched in shadow through The Daniel Faust Series; to a world torn by war, poison, and witchcraft by way of The Revanche Cycle series; and across a modern America mired in occult mysteries and a conspiracy of lies in The Harmony Black Series. Despite this, people say he's strangely normal. He currently lives in Illinois, where he can be found haunting museums, libraries, abandoned crossroads, and other places where dark fantasy authors tend to congregate. He also practices sleight of hand in his spare time, although he's not very good at it.
