Michael Riddell

Michael A. Riddell is the author of Fractured and Shattered — a harrowing true-life account of his family's prolonged and deeply personal experience with the paranormal. These memoirs explore the psychological and supernatural fallout of a haunting that spanned multiple homes, targeting not just a place, but the people inside it.

In addition to his nonfiction work, Michael is also the creator of the popular children’s book series The Willowbrook Chronicles, blending gentle adventure with heartfelt lessons in a whimsical world that offers young readers both comfort and wonder. His fiction work also ventures into darker territory, including the chilling supernatural novels The Sevenfold Harvest and Darkness Over the Tyne, which showcase his deep love of horror rooted in atmospheric storytelling and North East folklore.

Born and raised in the North East of England, Michael writes with a voice shaped by real-life experience, regional identity, and a lifelong fascination with the line between the seen and unseen. He continues to write across genres — always exploring what hides in the corners of the world… and the imagination.
