Malcolm Thomas is a pastor who writes literary horror—not because he likes scaring people, but because horror gives him a way to explore guilt, buried shame, hidden motives, and the truths people are most afraid to say out loud.
He writes atmospheric, psychologically unsettling fiction for readers who want horror that lingers—stories driven less by cheap scares and more by dread, moral tension, and emotional weight.
His debut novel, The Hollow, is set in 1984 Pennsylvania coal country, where a supernatural presence forces people to confront not just what they’ve done, but what they wanted.
Malcolm lives in Ohio with his family.
