About the Author

Michael Pattison writes historical gothic fiction inspired by European folklore, forgotten history and the enduring power of myth. His novels blend meticulously researched historical settings with supernatural horror to create immersive, atmospheric stories that linger long after the final page.

His Claire Morel Chronicles—a trilogy of novels following a young woman through nineteenth-century Europe—explore themes of survival, love, loss, and justice against the backdrop of gothic mansions, ancient conspiracies, and the blurred line between predator and prey.

Michael's background in structural compartmentation and building safety informs the architectural precision of his fictional worlds. His interest in horology—the craft of timekeeping—has shaped his approach to narrative structure and the careful construction of plot timing across interconnected stories.
