Steve Emmett

Steve studied at the Architectural Association in London where he once witnessed Dame Zaha Hadid fall through a canvas chair (admittedly she was just plain Ms Hadid then). He spent most of his working life (to the age of fifty) selling and restoring Italian country homes and lived primarily in London and Italy.

He grew up on Hammer Horror films, Dennis Wheatley and M R James stories, so not surprising that his main genre is horror and dark matter. When not scaring readers he likes to make them smile.

He is now a full-time Humanist Wedding and Funeral Celebrant, accredited by Humanists UK, but has occasionally reviewed for the New York Journal of Books. You can find him easily online and he has a YouTube channel called In Other Words where he reads his own work and that of others.
