About the author

Mike Bidwell writes mythic fiction at the intersection of memory, violence, and love across lifetimes.

Yurei: Legend of the Shadow Blade came to him in visions—scenes arriving fully formed, demanding to be written. What began as images became a thirteen-month obsession, unfolding into a story of samurai, vampires, and the question that haunts every life:

What survives after each lifetime?

Mike’s work blends historical myth, philosophical horror, and restrained brutality, exploring identity, sacrifice, and the cost of remembering who you truly are.

This is the first novel in a larger mythic universe.
