HARLOW BLACK
Forthcoming & In Progress
Have Yourself a Murder Little Christmas
Christmas is meant to be warm, bright, and safe. Not in these stories. In this festive horror collection, Harlow Black drags the season into the dark and finds what waits beneath the fairy lights: murder in picture-perfect villages, old folklore walking through winter streets, snowbound dread, haunted houses, ritual violence, culinary nightmares, and traditions sharpened into something cruel. From dark comedy to folk horror, from blood in the snow to ghosts at the window, Have Yourself a Murder Little Christmas gathers together seasonal nightmares for readers who prefer their Christmas tales strange, wicked, and waiting just beyond the glow of the tree.

G.A.R.L.I.C. - Group for Access, Rights, Liaison, Immortality & Care
Forthcoming
Rosie, John, and Ade are vampires. They are also disabled, exhausted, funny, dangerous, and thoroughly sick of strangers asking stupid questions in pubs. What begins as a support-group meeting in a Devon Wetherspoons quickly becomes something far messier: intrusive humans, viral threats, newly turned vampires, old predators, bad etiquette, blood politics, access issues, and the constant irritation of being treated as harmless by people who really should know better. Part horror-comedy, part supernatural found-family story, G.A.R.L.I.C. sinks its teeth into vampire clichés, disability stereotypes, and the sort of people who say “I’m just curious” while leaning far too close to your table.
Of Blood and Moor
London enforcer Tommy Vale flees to a remote Dartmoor inn with his family, hoping one night will be enough to disappear before his crime boss finds him. But the moor has its own hunter. As a storm cuts them off from the world, Tommy comes face to face with the Ragged Man: a legendary killer who steals voices, wears the dead, and remembers the blood Tommy thought he had buried. Of Blood and Moor is gangland noir pulled deep into folk horror — a story of family, guilt, violence, and old sins waiting in the fog.
Forthcoming
Ragged
Before the inn. Before the murders. Before the Ragged Man became a name whispered in fear. Across centuries of Devon history, Ragged traces the shape of an old terror moving through fog, stone, water, blood, and memory. From Roman Britain to ancient thresholds, drowned bells, lost roads, and moorland omens, these stories gather the fragments of a legend that refuses to stay buried. Part folklore, part historical horror, part mythic archive, Ragged is the story of how a monster becomes a warning — and how the moor remembers every voice it takes.

Art of the Fog
Serialised Story
One year after being horrifically wounded in the Somme, Arthur Hesketh is sent to Dartmoor to investigate the disappearance of an MP near Princetown. The official explanation is simple: fog, bad ground, and the moor doing what the moor does. Art does not trust simple explanations. As he follows the missing man's trail through prison officials, local warnings, old tracks, steady lanterns, and fog that behaves too much like memory, Art begins to uncover something older than politics and stranger than murder. Serialised on Patreon, The Art of the Fog is a slow-burn Dartmoor folk-horror mystery of war trauma, vanishing men, buried truths, and the thing waiting where the fog comes down.
