Welcome to a world of muskets and monsters ....

I'm Jay Raven, a UK-based writer of dark fantasy and historical horror. I live in Bristol, a brooding West Country seaport with creepy alleyways, gothic buildings, hidden caves and a past littered with ghosts, smugglers, murderous deeds and dangerous secrets.

My chilling tales take you back to a bygone age of
hangmen and harlots,
poisoners and princes,
gaslight and ghouls.

From frightening fables to twisted fairy tales,
I chronicle the evil that lies in men's hearts,
and the terror that never sleeps.
