Author Description “Horror is the canvas, not the painting”<br /><br />Hailing from the not so frozen wilds of Northern England, Carl Barker is a speculative fiction writer who firmly believes that the secret to a good scary story lies in its content and characterisation, as opposed to horror purely for its own sake.<br /><br />He is the author of numerous short stories within the genre, his work having been published in a variety of magazines and anthologies over the years, and is currently working on what he hopes will be the first of a trilogy of linked novellas set in the late nineteenth century.<br /><br />Carl’s debut collection, ‘Parlour Tricks’, was published by Parallel Universe Publications in the summer of 2017, to positive reviews, and is available in both print and e-book from all the usual stockists.<br /><br />He currently lives and works in the North East, where it’s really not as grim as people make out, and is a member of both The Horror Writers Association and The British Fantasy Society.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by.
