Praise for
High Strangeness:

Phil Tice is an American author, artist, and filmmaker, originally hailing from the Great State of New Jersey where he grew up surrounded by local legends like the Jersey Devil and the Feltville Witches. One Halloween, Phil was dared to watch The Exorcist with some middle school friends and the rest was history. Phil began his love affair with horror as a child with books like Goosebumps and Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark, and movies like The Thing and Return of the Living Dead. Phil began writing and self-producing films with his friends in high school, creating their own homemade version of Cannon Films in the suburbs of Central Jersey and paving the road for Phil's career in entertainment.

Phil went on to hone his craft at Boston’s Emerson College, where he graduated with a BFA, and now lives in Hollywood, California, where he makes his living as a director and screenwriter. When entering the film industry, he learned how to bring monsters to life on set as a special effects makeup artist before becoming a fully fledged horror filmmaker in his own right. He has collaborated with horror icons like Thom Mathews (Return of the Living Dead, Friday the 13th) and Cary Woods (Scream, Godzilla) and currently works for Oscar-nominated screenwriter and mentor David Magee (Life of Pi, Finding Neverland).

Phil considers authors like Stephen King, Neil Gaiman, and William Peter Blatty to be some of his greatest inspirations, and he hopes that a few of their fingerprints show through in his own humble stories.
