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. He also has two very well-received story collections, 'There's Something Wrong with Aunty Beth,' and 'You Only Live Once.' Chasing The Dragon is his debut novel.

Mark Towse liked Allison's review of The Sound of Suffering: A Novel: "This book was more sad than scary for me. It was also quirky and captivating with characters I enjoyed. Mostly though this book made me want to give the author a cozy blanket, a hot beverage, and maybe an offer to pay for a few therapy sessions. Mr. " Read more of this review »
