About Paul Iddon

Who I Am

Welcome, I’m Paul Iddon, a storyteller who thrives in the shadows of imagination. My passion lies in weaving tales that explore the boundaries of light and darkness, of power and redemption, of the human and the monstrous. As an author of dark fantasy and supernatural thrillers, my goal is to transport readers to worlds that linger in their minds long after the final page.

But my stories don’t stop there. Across genres like sci-fi, action, romance, and even whimsical children’s tales, I’ve embraced the full spectrum of creativity to craft narratives that resonate with a wide array of readers. Whether it’s an epic battle between cursed heroes or a heartwarming journey of discovery, my writing invites you to lose yourself in the magic of storytelling.

My Journey

I’ve always been fascinated by the power of stories—their ability to connect, inspire, and challenge us. Growing up, I devoured stories that blurred the line between reality and fantasy, sparking my own desire to create. My writing is fuelled by a love of deep, complex characters and the thrill of the unknown.

Over the years, I’ve penned tales that delve into the supernatural, the eerie, and the adventurous. My work reflects my belief that the best stories not only entertain but also explore the essence of what it means to be human—our fears, our dreams, and our relentless pursuit of hope.

What Drives Me

At the heart of my writing is a desire to create connections—between readers, between characters, and between worlds. I write to explore the endless possibilities of imagination and to share the magic of storytelling with others. I hope my tales resonate with you, offering an escape, a spark of inspiration, or a moment of reflection.

When I’m not writing, you’ll often find me at a heavy metal concert, indulging in a good horror movie, playing on my PS5 or chilling out with my wife and children. These moments fuel my creativity and often find their way into my stories.

This website is a space where I share my creative journey, connect with readers, and invite you to step into the worlds I’ve created. Whether you’re here for a quick read or an epic adventure, I hope you find something that resonates with you.
