edit data

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.

A Change of Address

For a while now I’ve been keeping two houses and doing neither of them justice. That ends today.

From here on, my writing lives at Field Notes by Luke on Substack. The nature essays, the conservation arguments, the pieces on craft and independent publishing, and yes — the cryptids and the folklore and the things people swear they saw on a back road at dusk. All of it, in one place, arriving in
