His latest series, Darkness Rises, is a dark fiction saga that began with Darkness Come Alive. His apocalyptic horror trilogy, Blood on the Motorway, has been an Amazon bestseller on both sides of the Atlantic, and his dystopian sci-fi serial, The Sunset Chronicles, terrifies and delights fans of science fiction and horror alike.
A former journalist with a diploma in Creative Writing from Oxford University, his stories have been featured on the chart-topping horror podcasts The Other Stories and The Night’s End, and he is the creator of Bleakwood, tales of terror from a mysterious English town.

There’s a town called Bleakwood. It isn’t on any map, and the people who find it tend to wish they hadn’t.
Bleakwood looks like any other small English town. A pub, a couple of churches, a high street going quietly to seed. You could drive through it in a minute and forget it by the next. But the woods press close on every side, something very old sleeps beneath the streets, and the people here have a habit of making bargains they come to regret.
Tales from Bleakwood is a free collection of horror stories first heard on the podcast Bleakwood, plus a new story that never aired. It’s yours, free, when you join my newsletter.
