The United States has a rich haunted history not often recounted in school. Beyond the Liberty Bell and right under the presidential noses on MountRushmore exists a dark and sinister world, which harbors secret creatures, beings both malevolent and benevolent, that inhabit the nation--ghosts and monsters unwilling or unable to abandon the American landscape. Andy Fish is the author and illustrator of a dozen graphic novels, including Dracula: The Dead Travel Fast. He is currently a professor of Graphic Novel Studies at Emerson College in Boston. His work as an illustrator has been published in five countries and his art has been on display in galleries in Boston, New York, Seattle, Portland Oregon and London.
