Ben Corrin (Alternity)

Ben Corrin is an American novelist, known mainly for writing bestselling horror novels, including Baja (1985), L'Anse aux Morts (1987), Loch (1988), February 30th (1989), and The Mariner (1991). Baja was later adapted into a blockbuster movie that was released in 1989, and followed by a sequel in 1997. Corrin attended Stanford University for three years, graduating with a major in English/writing in 1981 and became known as "...the master of modern horror..." upon the publications of Baja and L'Anse aux Morts, both of which became New York Times bestsellers for over six weeks. His most recent publication, P-Twin (December 1996), deals with a twelve year-old boy named Noah Randell who suffers from nightmares, which turn out to be a kind of weak psychic link to his thought-dead twin brother, a vicious and psychotic killer that soon targets Noah and his parents for death.
