PAUL D CooMBS
Author
the strange, the gothic, the dark, and the beautifully tragic
Paul D Coombs is the author of several works of dark fiction usually mired in tragedy, and sometimes imbibed with a little hope. Many of these tales have been published in anthologies, magazines, zines and podcasts. He has recently finished his first novel which he hopes to soon release into the void. Paul lives on a rock, floating in space where he inhabits a small clutch of islands known as the United Kingdom. Born in Cardiff, Wales, he lives in the splendid and sepulchral North West of England and is an admirer of castles, a champion of the underdog, and an eternal fan of The Cure.
