Justin Cronin: Literary Star Turns Into Bestselling Vampire Novelist "He has an M.F.A. from the Iowa Writers' Workshop and a PEN/Hemingway Award for his book
Mary and O'Neil, a meditative novel about love and loss told in a series of short stories. He has never read any of the
Twilight books - 'I'm kind of not the demographic,' he says. And
The Passage is not only, or even primarily, about vampires."
