Marcus Blacksmith is a resident of the Cotswolds, England. Wolds End was his first independently published work. A collection of eight stories of supernatural retribution, all set in the area he lives in.
Into Darkness is the second of a collection of three books of short stories called Twisted Tales. All with supernatural and psychological horror themes. As this book is published, he is working on a separate project, an illustrated novella,     which he hopes to publish in 2026.

Marcus lives with his wife and daughter and still has a full time job in the tourist industry.

His other interests are, music - going to gigs to watch up and coming indie and punk bands. Reading - dystopia, history, horror and magical realism. Old and decayed buildings; the older, more decayed and creepy, the better. And anything to do with Carnivals and freakshows.
