About the Author
Simon C. Walker writes at the intersection of two worlds, the dust-blown frontier where the supernatural bleeds through the cracks in the earth, and the quaint picture postcard villages of Britain where things old and wrong watch from the shadows.
His fiction draws on a lifelong obsession with folklore, the uncanny, and the moral weight of violence. He is interested in the spaces between genres — where the Western becomes a ghost story, where horror becomes a reckoning.
When not writing, he reads widely, spends time as a movie buff, and enjoys travelling to far away places and cosying up in a traditional British pub .
