James Everington


Biography

I'm a writer from Nottingham, England and I mainly write short stories. Most of what I write is dark, supernatural fiction, although not necessarily 'horror' in the blood and guts sense. My main influences are writers like Ramsey Campbell, Shirley Jackson, and Robert Aickman.

I enjoy the unexplained, the psychological, and the ambiguous in my weird fiction, and this is the kind of story I try and write. I think a lot of the best such fiction has been done in the short story form (although that's not to say I won't be trying a novel at some point...)

I drink Guinness, if anyone's offering.

The Other Room is a collection of weird horror fiction, containing twelve stories of the uncanny and the surreal. Influenced by writers such as Ramsey Campbell, Shirley Jackson, and Robert Aickman these tales, like all good horror stories, are as much about the psychology of the protagonist as the fate that awaits them.
