Karen J. Renner is an associate professor at Northern Arizona University, where she teaches classes in American literature and popular culture. This means that she gets to live in the beautiful mountain town of Flagstaff, Arizona. Karen loves anything to do with horror but far prefers the kind that involves ghosts and creepy noises over the kind that involves axes and dismemberment. She also loves to hike with her two rez dogs, Daisy and Alice, and to visit all sorts of pretty places.
