About the author
A British novelist and screenwriter, he is best known for horror fiction with a strong queer perspective. His official author site describes him as a cult writer of gay horror and highlights his cinematic style, with stories shaped by the mood of classic British horror cinema.
His work includes novels such as The Brutal Kiss, Out of Water, Shapes in the Dark, The Sugar Pit Standard, and Who's Afraid of Shirley Jackson? Across these books, he returns to themes of oppression, temptation, and the corruption that can hide beneath ordinary life.
That mix of literary horror, film influence, and LGBTQ+ focus has helped give his work a distinctive place in contemporary genre fiction. Readers who like unsettling atmosphere, psychologically charged characters, and horror with a clear personal voice may find a lot to enjoy here.
