Stephen Craig
Biography
Stephen lives in England with his wife and after spending more years than he cares to mention living in the 'real' world has found that he can have more fun climbing into his imagination and (darkest) thoughts and putting a pen to a nice piece of paper.
He considers himself to be a writer of stories (but does not claim to be good).
He has published the first in a series of whodunits (WHO KILLED BOB?), the first in The Cycle Of Gareth (GRIM REAPING) and a dark horror in The Duttleton Saga (THE DROWNING OF THE INNOCENTS).
His new story is a seasonal mystery, A COLD WIND BLOWS.
He is working on follow-ups to the above and also a new psychological horror series.
On top of this, Stephen has written a number of short/flash fiction stories that have now been compiled into a single volume (TWELVE CUTS FROM THE NIB) with an additional previously unreleased story.
He is also working on his first fantasy novel.
He has decided that he enjoys writing so much that he will continue to do so until he stops.
Which might mean he has died.
Until that time, he hopes that you get as much enjoyment from reading his stories as he does in writing them.

Bob is dead. He appears to have died in his study, alone and with the doors locked. On his desk are a pen and a photograph of his family - which are usually there.
What are not usually there, are the ice pick, claw hammer, kitchen knife and bottle of prussic acid which have been arranged on his desk. A lot of questions need to be answered. The main one is WHO KILLED BOB?

Smashwords book reviews by Stephen Craig
- Trust No One
on March 05, 2013
Very good short story - disturbing and uncomfortable, but gripping. A talented author with a good future ahead of him. Keep up the good work.
- Mouse and Cat
on March 05, 2013
Very good short story, very well written. Good twist. Please keep up the good work - more please!
- The Curious Casebook of Oscar Garcia
on March 21, 2013
Very enjoyable collection of detective cases. Look forward to more work from this author.
- Messages from Henry
on March 27, 2013
Read this in one sitting. Beautifully structured and well paced. A story the writer should be proud of.
- Empty Vessels
on April 13, 2013
A great story that really held my attention. A wonderfully crafted idea, I don't want to spoil it but the black-mist people and the whole story around them make for a thoroughly enjoyable story. Highly recommended!
- A Dead Cold Night
on May 09, 2013
Very nice premise for a story in which the writer quickly creates a feeling of isolation and tension. A secluded petrol station, a desperate situation which grows out of control and a hunt for a dangerous killer. Very enjoyable.
- Jim Fosse's Expense Claim
on May 22, 2013
Absolutely fantastic. A witty and enjoyable read which keeps the attention through the interesting manner of its 'telling'. Highly reccomended!
- Eureka Hotel
on July 24, 2013
Great story, had me held and interested up until the end!
- The Will
on July 28, 2013
An absolutely beautiful piece of writing. A highly emotive story that flows and grows in its telling. Once I had started, I could not put it down until I had finished and at the end, my involuntary response was an intake of breath and a simple 'wow'!
- Dear Jane
on Nov. 30, 2013
I really do like this. Good imagery created through the setting around WW2 - a story of seperation, love and loss. Two different sides of the same coin. I think this story will have a resonance with many people even in our modern times where people are seperated due to military conflict. Warm and heartfelt. Well done Ben!
- The Fridge
on Jan. 18, 2014
Really liked this. It was easy to side (or not) with certain characters from the start and once the fridge becomes a factor then the story really turns and lets the horror begin (not just gore, but uncomfortable psychological horror too). I could easily imagine the theme of the story being continued in another book or this becoming the first of a series. Well written!
