edit data

HM Read is an English author of horror, science fiction, and thrillers that focus on the darker side of the human psyche.

His debut novel, Feral Bloom, co-written with his brother, imagines a reality-grounded apocalypse. Blending speculative fiction with philosophical horror, the novel explores survival, decay, and the fragility of the human condition.

Read’s writing is minimalist and deliberate, favouring subtlety over excess. When not writing, Read is a musician and artist
