The Author
Kept by candlelight
Author Name writes the kind of stories best read with every light in the house on. Their work lingers at the threshold where the gothic meets the modern — haunted inheritances, hungry houses, and the quiet debts the dead still collect.
When not writing, they can be found in used bookshops, old cemeteries, and other places where the past refuses to stay filed. They live somewhere suitably fog-prone with an unreasonable number of candles.
