The Static

A psychological horror. A sleep-deprived new father finds himself listening, night after night, to a second-hand baby monitor that has begun to speak back.

I write fiction that sits between the literary and the uncanny — stories interested in grief, memory, landscape, and the thin places where ordinary life starts to shimmer.

My work draws on the British folk-horror tradition — M. R. James, Shirley Jackson, Andrew Michael Hurley — while keeping a foot in contemporary literary fiction. I'm drawn to restraint over spectacle, and to endings that leave a room unsettled long after the book is closed.

I live and work in the UK.
