Rebecca Lloyd writes short stories, novellas and the occasional novel. Most of her stories are about misfits bewildered by life’s expectations and trapped in their own limitations. Some stories could be described as psychological horror and others as magic realism, and from time to time she writes about ghostly things. What interests her most is the inventive ways we deal with what life throws at us, and the ability many of us have to slip between our invented worlds and the shared world, as if travelling back and forth down a long worn path.

Since 2014, literary awards in which Rebecca has been short-listed include The World Fantasy Award and the Aestas Short Story Prize. Her most recent published work includes her novel Oothangbart, (Pillar International Publishing), and four short story collections, Mercy and Other Stories, (Tartarus Press), The View from Endless Street, (WiDo Publishing), Ragman and Other Family Curses, (Egaeus Press) and Seven Strange Stories, (Tartarus Press). Her stories have been reprinted in Best British Horror (Salt Publishing), Best New Horror (PS Publishing) and Best Horror of the Year, Volume nine with Ellen Datlow. She has also written two novellas, Jack Werrett, the Flood Man, (Dunhams Manor Press) and Woolfy and Scrapo, (The Fantasist Magazine). She is presently working on a Gothic horror novel set in 1850.

I’ve been writing seriously since about 2013, but like many authors it’s all I’ve ever really wanted to do. When I was a kid, I’d borrow my mum’s typewriter and type out my favourite stories, before moving on to write my own. At the age of 9 or 10 I wrote my first ‘proper’ short story, a piece of Doctor Who fan fiction, and then designed a front cover, photocopied it, and sold it to friends and teachers. I guess that experience was kind of intoxicating, because nowadays I’m still more or less doing the same thing…

My first bookish loves were all science-fiction: Doctor Who novelisations (the TV show itself had just stopped broadcasting when I became a fan!) and novels by H.G. Wells and John Wyndham – particularly The Day of the Triffids. To this day, it seems that everything I write is in some way inspired by one or more of this ‘holy trinity’. Appropriately enough, my first novel was a time-travel thriller, called You Don’t Belong Here.

My most recent novels are Snakeskins, about people who spontaneously produce clones every seven years, and the forthcoming Hope Island, in which a mother and daughter holidaying on a remote island encounter creepy children, a weird artists’ commune, archaeological finds… and a series of dead bodies.

Other than that, I write lots of short stories, some of which are included in my first collection, And the House Lights Dim, and some have been selected for various ‘best of’ anthologies. I’ve also written a non-fiction book about a silent crime film called Les Vampires.

By day I’m a freelance editor, and I live in York in the UK with my wife and two young sons, who keep me very busy and mean that I read less than I’d like, but they also remind me there’s more to life than *only* reading…

Damon began writing short fiction in 2012. His work has appeared in numerous literary journals and anthologies in the UK and US (some of which are available on Amazon and through other retailers).

Most recently, eighteen of his stories were published together in an anthology titled 'Racing to Red Lights' (available on Amazon). The collection includes both new and previously published work and has been greeted with critical acclaim.

His stories are known for their reflection of apparently mundane everyday lives but with underlying twists, as well as some darker characters representing the dispossessed and less fortunate among us.

"At his best Jeffreys writes memorable, perturbating prose with an overwhelming sense of menace. The stories stay with the reader, touching something in the psyche that is both troubling and intriguing." Bristol Review of Books.

"I've never before encountered a new author (new to me, in any event) whose work...grabs me so significantly from page one. When on his top form as demonstrated here...(Tim Jeffreys)...has the precious ability to grapple, I sincerely believe, with a writing gear in the horror or weird fiction genre beyond the reach of most."
