Steve Burt is an American author of horror fiction, born in 1949 in Greenport, New York. He is best known for the FreeK series, including FreeK Camp, FreeK Show, and FreeK Week, about a summer camp for teenagers with strange supernatural gifts. He has also written horror short-story collections such as Odd Lot: Stories to Chill the Heart and its sequels Even Odder and Oddest Yet, continuing a long output of scary short fiction for younger and general readers alongside his novels. Burt's work sits in the tradition of accessible, kid-friendly horror, heavy on atmosphere and gentle scares rather than graphic violence, aimed at readers just old enough for their first ghost stories.
