Steve Thompson-Balk

 

I am 34 years old and married to Juanita. I live in the UK where I work as an electrician.

Generally I concentrate on writing short horror stories, when I get the time, but may spend some time on dark poetry. I started writing seriously about 8 years ago after finding an old book in a jumble sale - The Mask of Cthulhu by Hp Lovecraft. My imagination as a kid was always in overdrive, and hasn't changed much to this day.

HP Lovecraft and Brian Lumley have been big influences on me.

I enjoy reading, writing, watching sci-fi and horror films, watersports, music, relaxing with good food, good drink and good company. B-movies were my favourite as a young lad, with Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee feeling like part of the family.
