Author of the horror novel Sweet Dreams for Laura, he and his wife now call Oregon home.

My debut novel, The Suffering, is out now from Wicked House Publishing. I've had a number of short stories published in anthologies, including Dark Peninsula Press's Negative Space and Negative Space 2 - A Return to Survival Horror, Colors in Darkness' Deadly Bargains, and Silver Empire's Secret Stairs. I have also featured on the No Sleep Podcast and gave a virtual reading of my work at the Horrorgasm convention. My horror short, In Bocca Al Lupo, can be found on The Dread Machine, and I have appeared in 2 charity anthologies raising money for animal welfare. I live in Lancaster, UK, where the city's dark history of witches, ghosts, and monsters gives me plenty of inspiration!

P.L. McMillan writes dark stories and loves cosmic and gothic horror in particular. Her works have been published in Sanitarium, Hinnom Magazine, Fundead Publications, among others.

To her, every shadow is an entry way to a deeper look into the black heart of the world and every night she rides with the mocking and friendly ghouls on the night-wind, bringing back dark stories to share with those brave enough to read them.

"Someone suggested to me that McMillan might be one of the next great cosmic horror writers and if [The Space Between] is a good indication of her talent and imagination, I’d say they could well be correct." – The Miskatonic Review
