ABOUT MICHAEL

Michael Penning is a best-selling author and award-winning screenwriter of horror and dark fiction, crafting stories so chilling they could make a ghost shiver. As the macabre mind behind the Book of Shadows series, he has been weaving nightmares since before he could finish his own sack of trick-or-treat candy. When he’s not conjuring new ways to make readers sleep with one eye open, he enjoys traveling, photography, and brewing beer. He lives in Montreal with his wife and daughter, who have yet to flee in terror.

A Firebrand of Hell, a short story prequel to the bestselling Book of Shadows series, is now available absolutely free. Just tell me where to send it!

Michael embraces the vulnerability of his characters, peeling away the layers on the page so the actors can get to the heart of who they truly are.
