Who This Author Is

Allan Zullo writes short, approachable nonfiction that spotlights odd, brave, and spooky moments. His books range from collections of true ghost stories—about animals, teachers, campers—to sympathetic accounts of survivors and animal heroes, all delivered in brisk, readable chapters for general readers and younger adults.

Zullo also turns a lighter eye to everyday subjects, as in his humor and sports titles that collect quirky anecdotes and observations. Across these varied topics he favors clear storytelling, compact chapters, and a tone that balances empathy, surprise, and a touch of fun.
