author: James Herbert

Member Since
December 2014


Luke Phillips is a writer with a real passion for monsters. Having studied as a zoologist, his imagination has always been captivated by the darker side of our unnatural history.

From trekking through California looking for Bigfoot to camping out in the Highlands on the trail of real-life reported big cats, Luke has strayed from the mainstream into the eerie world of cryptozoology. There, truth may well be stranger and far scarier than fiction!

He lives in the West Kent town of Sevenoaks in the UK. Shadow Beast is his debut novel and is out now.

However, in short, the answer is...hopefully not. I hope to have it out by the end of 2018. I am about 15,000 words in, and making good progress.

Many thanks again for the kind words. (less)

For some reason, Goodreads doesn't alert me to questions! I'll answer your very patient line of queries all in one go. The answer is, within the next two weeks as of today. Hopefully sooner. I'm just waiting on the cover to be finished, and for a final proof read and quote. I'll be making it available as soon as possible. Thank you for hanging in there!(less)

Shadow Beast – The School Attack (Chapter Tuesdays)

I recently picked up a 50th anniversary copy of James Herbert’s ‘The Rats’ – a series of books I was borderline obsessed with when I discovered them in my early teens. Despite being slightly alarmed at the inappropriate content that I somehow missed as a kid, and wouldn’t get past an editor’s desk these days (a teacher thinking of 14-year old girls as crumpet!), it still has me gripped no matter h
