The Story Behind the Scenes…

Portrait of Mark Anthony, award-winning supernatural horror author and creator of the LIT trilogy, seated at a table in a blue shirt, resting his chin on his hand.

“I had a nightmare many years ago. The kind that lingers long after you wake, settling into the corners of your mind and refusing to let go. Slowly, it began to take shape. First as an idea, then as a story. A story that demanded to be told.

An avid reader of supernatural horror and dark fantasy, I've always been drawn to stories that challenge reality, blur the boundaries between worlds and explore the darker corners of the human experience. It seemed only natural to give that nightmare a life of its own — a psychological horror where the ordinary and the unimaginable collide, with raw, unsettling and terrifying consequences.

FORTHCOMING NOVEL

THE NIGHTMARE HAS A HISTORY

A different time. A different place. The same nightmare.

Some nightmares existed long before we dreamt them. Their roots stretch back through centuries, across distant lands and into histories best left undisturbed.

A NEW STORY FROM THE WORLD OF LIT

Currently in development

Spiked black thorn cross and circular crown emblem on an aged parchment background with red and blue flames

  • The world created in Lit is evil and vicious, the three dimensional characters within it are plunged into a world that seems bleak and hopeless. The characters are strong, the terrifying plot building along with the tension.
