Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Born in South Wales, Lee Allen was an avid reader from a young age, already beginning to develop his fascination with mystery, intrigue, crime, horror and the supernatural. He soon turned to creating his own stories and hasn’t stopped writing since. He completed the manuscript for his first full-length novel while still in secondary school, which was later published as his debut crime thriller "Those Crimes of Passion" in 2012.

Heavily influenced by gothic fiction, he later released supernatural mystery "Alone" (2014); horror chiller "The Jack O’Lantern Men" (2015); short story collection "Whispers from the Dead of Night" (2020), a hybrid of horror and multiple sub-genres; and erotic horror crime thriller "Bitten" (2021).

Lee continues to reside in Wales with his feline writing companion, immersing himself in imagination and research.

You can connect with him on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter @LeeAllenAuthor and on Goodreads (goodreads.com/LeeAllen).

    Allen has a talent for crafting stories that beckon to the age of Victorian Gothic Horror. Threaded throughout this story is the ghostly folklore of the “will o’ the wisp.” The story and writing style reminded me at times of Wilkie Collins’ classic “The Woman in White.” However, it only took 45 pages for Allen to create characters with the same depth while sending them on their tortured and perilous journeys. The ending was unexpected but satisfying.

    I’ve read a few stories by Allen and I would recommend this short as a great introduction to this talented writer. Readers of this short will also be introduced to characters from Allen’s The Jack O’Lantern Men, another perfect read for the Halloween season.
