Richard Pidwell writes psychological horror, dark speculative fiction and unsettling stories about fear, perception and the moment reality begins to slip.
His newest novel, The Static Bride, is British occult and analogue horror with a slow-burn, kiss-only romance: a Crown archivist catalogues a waterlogged 1983 wedding tape that names her as the bride.
Mindscript explores a different kind of horror: what happens when a story can change the person reading it. The Grammar of Attention is its psychological-horror prequel.
Richard writes for readers who enjoy creeping dread, strange mysteries, dangerous ideas and stories that linger after the last page.
