About the author

Tim Mendees is a horror writer from Macclesfield in the North-West of England that specialises in cosmic horror and weird fiction. A lifelong fan of classic weird tales, Tim set out to bring the pulp horror of yesteryear into the 21st Century and give it a distinctly British flavour. His work has been described as the love-child of H.P. Lovecraft and P.G. Wodehouse and is often peppered with a wry sense of humour that acts as a counterpoint to the unnerving, and often disturbing, narratives.
Tim has had over eighty published short stories and novelettes in anthologies and magazines with publishers all over the world. He also has five novellas and a short story collection on sale with more coming soon.
When he is not arguing with the spellchecker, Tim is a goth DJ, crustacean and cephalopod enthusiast, and the presenter of a popular web series of live video readings of his material and interviews with fellow authors. Tim is also a co-host of the Innsmouth Book Club podcast. He currently lives in Brighton & Hove with his pet crab, Gerald, and an army of stuffed octopods.

[ThatBookMoth · Rating 5 out of 5]

Perfect little book of cosmic horrors. Fav stories are “Oh Men, Miles Davis, and Madness”, “The Thunder, His Passing”, “The Stairs of R’lyeh” and “Phantasmagoria”.

[Christopher Pate · Rating 3 out of 5]

A somewhat diverting collection of Lovecraftian tales. Most of only passing interest but a couple intriguing tales. Worth the read if you need to scratch a certain cosmic horror itch.
