edit data

M F Alfrey has always been fascinated by creatures – especially the strange and the overlooked, from peculiar dinosaurs to bizarre insects. A lifelong love of wildlife and monsters had him dreaming of a career in special creature FX, but with no clear path at the time, he turned to art. Eventually, that passion evolved into writing, where he now brings his own monsters to life on the page. From the horrific to the inexplicable, his creatures are more than just threats – they’re the wildlife of his worlds, serving as antagonists, protagonists, or mirrors of humanity in all its beauty and brutality.

M F Alfrey liked Karl Franklin's review of Silentium: "One last job, transporting space marines to a classified research facility on the edge of charted space. What could possibly go wrong? This is a well crafted story set in a beautifully detailed vision of the future. Full of action, thrills and monsters" Read more of this review »
