Notă biografică

J. T. Croft is a Gothic and speculative fiction author with a passion for tales both fantastical and supernatural. An avid fan of fantasy and ghost stories, J. T. imbues his work with strong emotional themes designed to tug readers' hearts and make them think. His stories roam between good and evil, exploring the grey area between with a melancholy, bittersweet, and strangely charming feel. J. T. Croft is enchanted by the works of Edwardian ghostwriters such as M. R. James and E. F. Benson, as much as the Gothic works of Laura Purcell, Hester Fox, Susan Hill, and Daphne du Maurier. When not writing, he enjoys listening to podcasts, drinking coffee, and spending time with his partner and their grey tabby in Worcestershire, UK.
