Let's make this birthday one to remember.

64 years old (Born on February 04, 1961)

Happy Birthday, Stewart O'Nan! May your day be filled with more thrills and chills than one of your spine-tingling novels. You've given us countless sleepless nights, yet we keep coming back for more—clearly, we're gluttons for literary punishment.

From "A Prayer for the Dying" to "The Night Country," you've mastered the art of haunting readers long after they've closed the book. Here's hoping this year brings you as much success as you've brought goosebumps to your fans. Keep scaring us silly; after all, who needs sleep when we've got great horror fiction?

Cheers to another frightfully fantastic year!
