about me

I am 27 years old and have been living & working in London for the last 4 years, two of which working in my spare time as an Associate Editor for a US horror fiction quarterly called Dark Moon Digest. It had first entered my thoughts that I wanted to be a writer when I was in my early teens and I had found a means of expression through poetry.

Through constantly discovering the works of writers I found an affinity for, I discovered my love of horror stories. The dark and Gothic works of Edgar Allen Poe, the warped nightmares of Lovecraft. As my passion grew, so did my curiosity, I started to read the classics, War of The Worlds, 1984, Animal Farm, Moby Dick, To Kill A Mockingbird.

Since beginning this journey, I have read many novels, ranging from comedy and crime to horror and I have never read anything that gave my quite as much pleasure as the writings of Stephen King.

In November 2006 I began work on my first novel. A piece of crime fiction. It is a film noire style story about a mans revenge against a powerful crime lord. I have continued to work and develop the story and characters, working towards its completion, but needless to say I have yet to secure an agent.

I enjoy writing short stories and I feel that whether I am fortunate enough to meet with success or failure, I will always write for the joy of it.

Times are as difficult as ever for a writer. Perhaps some say it is easier for new writers, with so many opportunities and the ease of communication through the internet, but we shall see.

Champion City

Rory Warwick

A former Police Detective returns home after a decade absence to exact an old revenge on the powerful crime lord who ruined his life.


When former Champion City police detective Samuels returns to his old stomping ground after a decade of absence, he is over run with an array of intense, unsettling emotions and painful memories. He fled for his life from this very city ten years ago and he never stopped running, now as he returns to face the demons of his past, he has come full circle, and within the decaying Gothic structures of Champion City someone has been waiting for him.

Sams begins to unfold his elaborate plan to exact revenge on the city's now most powerful crime lord Jack De Luca. But if Sams is going to get the revenge he has so desperately sought after for all these years, he is going to need some help, everything needs to go exactly as planned, but in Champion City where the streets are stained with the blood of innocents, justice has no meaning and the past comes back to haunt us all.

 

No Exit

Rory Warwick

A collection of short short stories ranging from the horror of fantasy to the terrors of reality.


No Exit is a collection of 13 short horror stories. Drawing from experience as an associate editor for a US horror fiction quarterly magazine, I have seen some vile things. Frustrated with unanswered cries in the dark, I have compiled my own collection of short horror stories. Ranging from evil childhood fantasies, to morbid scientific truths to harsh and violent realities, this selection of horror stories contains enough vile displeasure to send a judder down even the most stale of spines.

Hello, I have to say that from what I have read so far, the story is really gripping and original and it flows fast and it is very easy to read, however I do feel sometimes that the descriptive style is a little too much and I have trouble understanding what is happening. I hope you understan... view book

This writing is really gripping. I am reading whilst at work and thought that I would glance over every now and then so I don't get caught, but I keep finding my eyes glued to the screen, I don't want to tear myself away. The descriptive style is really vivid and the characters are really real, they... view book
