Wolfgang Parker
Wolfgang Parker is the accidental author and illustrator of the Crime Cats children’s mystery series. He wrote the first volume, Crime Cats: Missing, as a gift for his nineteen nieces and nephews, and soon found people of all ages enjoyed reading the adventures of the Chicken-Boy of Clintonville and his cat detective partners. The series has won nine publishing awards. Parker was the recipient of the 2018 OELMA Literacy Leadership Award and voted one of Columbus’ best authors in the 2015 ColumbusUnderground.com reader’s poll. Too Scary to Read Alone is Parker’s first contribution to children’s horror. The abomination known as Vilnius Oorte has haunted Central Ohio for more than 50 years, though its exact origin is unknown. Too Scary to Read Alone is the first publication to feature the “art” that Oorte has spawned and unleashed. All are advised to approach with extreme caution.
