Last known photograph of the author.
- Scarina was born in 1823 in the Hudson River Valley. She likes these magic-lantern shows you call "movies" very much. As weird as some of these movies are, she still thinks history can be much more strange--try looking up the Calico Indians, a history of feral children, or the Hartford circus fire of 1944. Some of her non-horror related favorite things include; scratching kitties on their chins, the Civil War, actually make that war history in general, especially World War Two and Vietnam eras, burlesque shows, Guinness beer, and funny cartoons like Archer.
