M.J. Mars

MJ Mars is a geek, ghoul, and horror enthusiast living in Lancaster, UK. Her debut novel, The Suffering, was published by Wicked House in 2023, and her short story collection, We've Already Gone Too Far, won the 2024 Books of Horror Short Smack award.

When she isn't writing, reading, or watching horror, you'll find MJ playing pool, walking her dog, Duke, or buying additional notebooks and/or art supplies that rarely get used.

Her current books include The Suffering, The Fovea Experiments, We've Already Gone Too Far, and Try Not to Die in the UK, as well as the first two of the Pestilent Perils series, RAT and FLEA. She is currently working on a second short story collection, a novella, more Pestilent Perils, and is finishing up a sequel to The Suffering.
