ABOUT THE AUTHOR

As penance for past deeds, Edmund Glasby grew up in Morecambe and studied Egyptian Archaeology at University College London and Archaeology and Anthropology at Oxford. Morecambe, which has more than its share of the strange and unsavoury, provided him with a better education. After turning his back on academia, he now writes in the genres of dark fantasy and supernatural thriller, having been brought up on horror; his father was John Glasby, the prolific supernatural writer.

In 2010, his first novel was Disciple of a Dark God, a far-ranging dark fantasy epic. As editor, he was the compiler of The Thing in the Mist: Selected Stories of John S. Glasby, a recent memorial tribute volume to his father. The Dyrysgol Horror was his first collection of supernatural stories as a Borgo Press original, and further collections are in preparation.

When he is not writing, he is the captain of a local archery club, and he has won a trophy or two both at local and European level with the English longbow he made.
