About HM Read

HM Read is the co-founder of Kingdom Horror Collective and an English author of horror and thrillers that focus on the darker side of the human psyche. His debut novel, ๐˜๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜‰๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ, co-written with CJ Holden, imagines a reality-grounded apocalypse. Blending speculative fiction with philosophical horror, the novel explores survival, decay, and the fragility of the human condition. Readโ€™s writing is minimalist and deliberate, favouring subtlety over excess. When not writing, Read is a musician and artist. He lives in the UK and is currently working on his second novel.

On Bookish Badger since November 2026.
