William Gorman grew up listening to ghost stories and dark fantastical yarns from his grandfather-a magician and former 'mentalist' during the last great, fading days of vaudeville. His first book, a collection of local myths and legends titled GHOST WHISPERS, spawned the highly popular Haunted Rockford tours and cemetery walks now operating in his Illinois hometown. His first novel, BLACKWATER VAL, was published in 2016. He now lives in the Ohio Valley, and is currently at work on his next novel and a new collection of macabre tales.
