RALPH BURTON

My name is Ralph Burton. Pleased to meet you.

I'm a 28 year-old Horror Author from the UK. My biggest influences are H.P. Lovecraft, Stephen King, Edgar Allan Poe, Roald Dahl and Angela Carter. I like drinking coffee, having cats, and writing

I started writing in my first year of University.

Circa 2014

My first book was Eldritch Nights about a student who keeps a sea monster beneath her room. She must sacrifice a boy to it every week otherwise the Dark Creature will devour the entire world. The book was influenced by H.P. Lovecraft, #HeforShe, #GamerGate, and One Direction.

Get Ready to Party.

Just Don't go to the Club.

Don't go to the University.

And Stay Away from the Pier.
