About the author
Marc Horn
11 books18 followersMy love for storytelling stems from a desire to spark curiosity and immerse readers in unsettling worlds filled with intrigue, tension, and dark humor.
My stories often explore the darker sides of human nature—betrayal, obsession, and the relentless drive to win at all costs.
I aim to create narratives that resonate with readers, offering both an escape and a chance to confront their fears.
I consider Timer: Season 1 to be my best work. The dystopian sci-fi series encapsulates all the themes I enjoy exploring, and I'm particularly proud of D.I. Stewart—a character defined by his obsession with finding a way out of a phenomenon he does not understand. Writing his journey was thrilling.
Recently, I've been focused on my Getty Gigs series, a humorous parody featuring a bumbling, well-intentioned private investigator who gets caught up in outrageous predicaments. This series is definitely lighter in tone than my other works, but still maintains a gritty, raw quality. I love the emphasis on humor in these satirical parodies, and they're incredibly enjoyable to write. So far, there are four novellas, with many more ideas in the pipeline!
If you want to sample my work, B-Sides 1 is a great place to start. It’s a collection of thriller short stories that showcase my eclectic interests, including sci-fi, psychological drama, dark humor, and a story set in the Timer universe.
