Nick Montefreddo

I’m Nick Montefreddo, author of the Coldmount Street – Fantastic Mysteries book series.

I love the Fantastic in all its forms and colors. I like to think of it as a precious lens—a clear focus on its very essence.

A gaze cast through the symbols of the Marvelous, of the enchanted and perilous world, with all its creatures and realms, its beauties and dangers.

Reality seen in transparency, through the crystals of myths, fairy tales, and legends.

Among my favorite writers, I include:

A.C. Doyle, Agatha Christie, Bram Stoker, C.S. Lewis, Charles Dickens, E.A. Poe, G.K. Chesterton, George MacDonald, H.G. Wells, H.P. Lovecraft, Horace Walpole, J.K. Rowling, J.M. Barrie, J.R.R. Tolkien, Jules Verne, L.F. Baum, Lewis Carrol, Lord Dunsany, M.R. James, Mark Twain, Mary Shelley, Michael Ende, P.L. Travers, R.E. Howard, R.L. Stevenson, R.L. Stine, Ray Bradbury, the Brothers Grimm, W.B. Yeats, William Morris...
