edit data

Jay Raven writes gothic horror with bite.

From vampire-hunting thrillers steeped in danger to witch-burning sagas laced with suspicion and sin, his stories are packed with action, dark twists, and tormented heroes who battle evil with blade, bullet, and black humour.

A lifelong fan of classic horror cinema and vintage pulp fiction, Jay resurrects the spirit of old-school monsters and cursed magic for a modern audience. Think Van Helsing meets The Crucible—with a body count and a heart.

When not dreaming up fresh nightmares, he lives in a creaking old house on the edge of 500 acres of bat-haunted woodland—perfect for conjuring shadows, whispers, and things best left buried.
