Welcome:

Welcome to the site. I'm a scribbler of horror and other dark fictions, and my novels and stories have been published in the UK and the US for the last fifteen years. I currently live in India, having been in Scotland for over a decade. For most of that time I've been writing one thing or another. Hopefully some of it has entertained you, or soon will. Let me know.

Kudos:

"In a genre where some of the most respected voices can't seem to get past vampires and serial killers, Wright doles out startlingly original ideas like he's throwing stones. More importantly, he's knocking us upside the head with them and making us think in a very enjoyable way." - Louis Maistros, Chiaroscuro

Beneath the Surface – Stoker shortlisted

I did have another blog planned, about how the current writing project is going (painfully, if you’re asking), but better news has arrived. Beneath the Surface, the anthology published by Shroud last year, has stumbled onto the shortlist for the Bram Stoker award. This pleases me, because it has my short story ‘Secrets (Never Told)’ in it. The winners will be announced June 14th, and I wish the book all the best.

In particular, well done to Tim Deal, the editor. An anthology has lots of writers (and congratulations to them too!), but only one editor, pulling disparate pieces together, and making us all look good.

So, are you a voting member of the Horror Writers Association? Please do try to pick up a copy before you put your tick in the box, and may the (subjectively) better book win. Of course, if you don’t have voting rights on the Stokers, there are plenty of reasons to buy the book anyway. ‘Secrets (Never Told)’ is just one of them. Linky goodness for Americans and Brits.
