Let's make this birthday one to remember.

73 years old (Born on July 17, 1952)

Happy Birthday to the master of chills and thrills, Robert R. McCammon! From unleashing werewolves in "The Wolf's Hour" to haunting our dreams with apocalyptic visions in "Swan Song," your stories have kept us delightfully sleepless for decades. Your Matthew Corbett series continues to captivate readers, proving that historical mysteries can be just as spine-tingling as supernatural horrors.

Here's wishing you another year filled with eerie inspirations, gripping plots, and perhaps fewer nightmares (though we secretly hope not!). May your imagination remain boundless—and may no creature from Stinger crash this birthday party! Cheers to many more thrilling chapters ahead!
