Hey, I'm Scott. Nice to meet you. I write the kind of books that make perfectly reasonable people sleep with the lights on. You're welcome.
My fiction sits at the crossroads of supernatural thriller, horror, and urban fantasy, with deep roots in cosmic horror, Lovecraftian dread, folk horror, psychological horror, and the occasional biotech nightmare. I'm fascinated by the rules of the supernatural. How they work, what happens when someone breaks them, and why humans are so spectacularly bad at leaving well enough alone. Themes of scientific arrogance, occult conspiracy, isolation, and survival run through most of what I write, though I try to make sure there's always a thread of dark humor running alongside the dread.
My favorite stories are those rooted in folklore, occult mystery, and the deeply unsettling vibe of small towns (specifically New England towns) that have been around just a little too long.
I live in one of those little New England towns, by the way. It's great for writing. Less great for sleeping.
If you're a fan of Stephen King, Dean Koontz, Blake Crouch, John Connolly, or Stephen Graham Jones, there's a good chance we'll get along.
