PW Stephens

PW Stephens is an author of Gothic love, Gothic horror, and now cosmic horror. He is the creator of the Broken Pebbles series, the upcoming Venusian Born series, and the fictional father of Alice, Jacob, Evan, Vulpus, and Corvus.

Born and raised on the North Kent coast, in the heart of the Canterbury during the late 70s, Stephens grew up in a humble and loving home. Lacking confidence, he found solace in the escapism of reading and the boundless freedom of world building through writing. Inspired by literary greats such as Edgar Allan Poe, H.P. Lovecraft, and Herman Melville, his mission is to breathe new life into an aging genre, bringing the horror of the macabre straight into the modern world, and perhaps, right into your own backyard.

His debut novel, The Rise & Fall of Jacob Brooking, was released to critical acclaim in August 2019. This short but powerful work explored the unraveling of a man’s mental health through an almost supernatural lens. Its sequel, The Psychosis of Alice Petalow, released in early 2020, expanded the story into a larger universe, interweaving the narratives of multiple characters. In February 2020, these two novels were combined into The Papillon and the Oubliette, the first book in the Broken Pebbles series... described by Writer’s Life Work as “Gothic love at its finest” and by Blue Book Promotions and Reviews as “The Shining meets The Notebook in a book that will stay with me forever.”

Since then it has been release after release. Below are the order in which its best to read and the larger books that contain smaller works.
