The common denominator is anything fast food related, and the ensemble runs the gamut from zombie delicacies to child hungry playgrounds. The vibrant vivid cover represents the contents inside the pages. It is a collection of twenty three writers and seven artists. The Horrors is a teenager's worst nightmares given breath. Each story deals with an aspect of teen life, and the worst nightmares contained in that demographic come true. The one thread that weaves itself through this collection of stories is teenage angst.
The stories ranges from the proverbial babysitter gone mad to the necrophilia fairy tale with a twist. The Horrors: Terrifying Tales: Book Two is no different. Like most anthologies it contains a variety of stories. It is a compilation of 14 different horror stories. The actual cover of the book is a picture of Rainfield's forearms which shows that she has been through much of Kendra's pain. Cheryl donates a portion of all her earnings from Scars to RAINN ( Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network) and the TRCC (Toronto Rape Crisis Centre). For the launching of the book, she partnered with the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre because she used this centre as a help line when she was a teen. Rainfield wrote the book in order to speak out about self-harm, sexual abuse, and being a queer teen, and to help others who've been through those experiences to know that they are not alone, and to encourage greater compassion and understanding in people who don't have those experiences.
Cheryl Rainfield has many similarities with the protagonist of the story Kendra. She based the book Scars on some of her personal life experiences. She wrote the first draft in a few short months, and then for over ten years she edited and revised the book more than forty times before it was accepted for publication by WestSide Books. Rainfield is most famous for her book called Scars. She completed an editing course at George Brown College in 1999 that covered proofreading, copy editing, and substantive editing.
She volunteers at CANSCAIP (Canadian Society of Children's Authors, Illustrators, and Performers). She has been involved with the Regular Children's/YA Critique Group for more than 11 years. Rainfield was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. She currently resides in Toronto, Ontario. She lives with her dog, Petal, and her cat, Amazon. She is a passionate reader, and enjoys writing and creating art. She battled with abuse by reading numerous books, and by writing and creating art during her early life which opened doors for her as an escape. She is an incest and ritual abuse survivor. Cheryl Rainfield (born August 19, 1972) is a Canadian author.
