About the Author:

John Robert Colombo has been called many things ... including "Master Gatherer" for his compilations of Canadiana, John "Bartlett" Colombo for his books of quotations, "Cartographer of the Canadian Imagination" for his ground-breaking anthologies of Canadian fantastic literature, and "Canada's Mr. Mystery" for his books about the supernatural and the paranormal.
