edit data

Steve Stark is the author of the novel “A Hot Dose of Hell” and the anthology “Violent Ends”. An avid fan of crime and horror fiction, he tends to write a mixture of both. Steve draws inspiration from a misspent youth on the English coast and an imagination fuelled by 80’s video nasties and pulp paperbacks.

His short stories have been published by Slaughterhouse Press, Punk Noir Magazine and Hellbound Books while his horror-related articles can be found at RedSun Magazine, Horrorworks and Whatculture. Steve has appeared on several YouTube book channels such as Molly Macabre’s Where The Macabre Things Are, Arron Hook’s book reviews, Beardofdarkness and the Red-Pilled Fiction Factory. You can also find him on Twitter and instagram.
