M.G. Phillips

M.G. Phillips doesn't have to guess what tension feels like—he’s lived it. His hard-boiled crime fiction is directly informed by his years as a private investigator and an emergency room security officer, where he dealt firsthand with raw human conflict and high-stress crisis management.

​Beyond his standalone books, his short stories have been published across various genre magazines and anthologies, earning a place among modern crime and noir writers. That success is rooted in a lifelong devotion to the genre; as an active collector and scholar of vintage pulp paperbacks and mid-century comics, Phillips studies the raw artwork and visceral storytelling that made the original pulp era legendary.

​He channeled this passion into founding Pulp Thrills Press, an independent home for modern noir, hard-boiled mystery, and punchy fiction.
