Mark Towse is an English horror writer living in Australia. He would sell his soul to the devil or anyone buying if it meant he could write full-time. Alas, he left it very late to begin this journey, penning his first story since primary school at the ripe old age of forty-five. Since then, he's been published in over two hundred journals and anthologies, had his work made into full theatrical productions for shows such as The No Sleep Podcast and Tales to Terrify, and has penned fourteen novellas, including Nana, Gone to the Dogs, 3:33, and Crows.

Mark Towse liked Mark Robinson's review of Devil's Bluff: A Horror Novel: "This is like a director’s cut of Hope Wharf. There are so many ideas in this novel. There’s a sinister small seaside town the local’s cannot escape from, there’s a strange mist in the air from the sea, a creepy sweet shop owner and the looming shadow " Read more of this review »
