About the author

Ordinary places. Impossible wrongness.

JWB

J.W. Beekes is a horror writer from Bristol, England, writing about the unsettling spaces where normal life collides with the impossible.

The stories draw on everyday locations, urban legends, British folk traditions, punk rock culture, classic horror cinema, psychological tension, cosmic dread, body horror, and supernatural terror.

This is horror with dirt under its fingernails: record shops, back rooms, bad gigs, dead-end jobs, strange doors, haunted routines, and the moment a familiar place reveals what it has been hiding all along.
