About Me

biography

Robert Ring was born in Memphis, Tennessee. He now lives in Birmingham, Alabama with his wife and is a high school English teacher.

Robert is a lover of literature in all mediums but is particularly interested in film and poetry. He was a late bloomer into the world of horror, beginning with his renting of Night of the Living Dead on a whim in college, but nevertheless has acquired a solid knowledge and understanding of horror on a broad scope. When asked what his favorite movie is, his first response is usually prolonged verbal indecision, followed by the mentioning of Night of the Living Dead, 2001: A Space Odyssey, and The Royal Tenenbaums in no particular order, then an "Oh yeah, not only horror," and finally a rambling which can involve almost anything, at which point the interrogator usually tries to lead the conversation elsewhere.

But Robert is someone who likes words -- the ones that float from mouths. He's the one who sleeps at night. He's the guy your father doesn't know.
