A quick note about Mindscript

Hi everyone — I wanted to post a small introduction for anyone who’s come across my page recently.

Mindscript is probably the clearest example of the kind of fiction I’m drawn to writing: stories where reality starts to feel slightly wrong, where fear works quietly at first, and where the unsettling part is not just what is happening, but what it begins to mean.

I’m especially interested in psychological horror, perception, blurred truth, and the moment a character realises the rules around them may not be as stable as they thought.

If you’ve read Mindscript, or if that kind of story is your thing, you’re very welcome here.

Let me know and I’ll forward the link.

5 Years in the Shadows: Why I Finally Hit ‘Publish’

Richard Pidwell
For 1,825 days or so, my stories lived only on my hard drive. I never intended to share them. It took a persistent friend, someone who saw the value in these dark worlds—to push me to hit "Publish."
