Greg Howard schöpft Inspiration aus der Küstenregion South Carolinas, die er humorvoll als den „Ausfallschritt des amerikanischen Südens“ bezeichnet. Seine Kindheit und Jugend in dieser Gegend, bekannt als die „Geisterhauptstadt des Südens“, befeuerten seine überaktive Vorstellungskraft. Nach einer Flucht aus einem streng religiösen Haushalt durch verschiedene Künste verfolgte er später eine Karriere in der Musikindustrie. Nun kehrt Howard zur Fiktion zurück und verbindet gekonnt paranormale Elemente mit einem tiefen Verständnis der menschlichen Psyche, oft mit einem tiefen Bezug zu seinen Küstenwurzeln.
