Paul D. Coombs

​Paul D Coombs is the author of several works of dark fiction usually mired in tragedy, and sometimes imbibed with a little hope. Many of these tales have been published in anthologies, magazines, and podcasts. The Great Orme - his foreboding psychological thriller, scraped and torn from the famous jutting headland in North Wales, is out now. For Strangers Only - a collection of 15 literary short stories about isolation and identity, stories about the things and the people we cling to, is also out now.

Paul lives on a rock, floating in space where he inhabits a small clutch of islands known as the United Kingdom. Born in Cardiff, Wales, he lives in the splendid and sepulchral North West of England with his family. Paul can often be found or lost on X, Threads, Instagram, and Bluesky.
