edit data

Richard Pidwell writes psychological horror and speculative fiction about fear, perception, and the moment reality begins to feel wrong.

His stories explore unsettling ideas, creeping dread, and the fragile line between what is real and what only seems true.

If you enjoy atmospheric, thought-provoking fiction that lingers after the final page, his work is for you.

I’m currently giving away the free Mindscript prequel, The Grammar of Attention, through my website.

A quick note about Mindscript

Hi everyone — I wanted to post a small introduction for anyone who’s come across my page recently.

Mindscript is probably the clearest example of the kind of fiction I’m drawn to writing: stories where reality starts to feel slightly wrong, where fear works quietly at first, and where the unsettling part is not just what is happening, but what it begins to mean.
