Stephen J. Clark was born in County Durham. His work has appeared in numerous journals and anthologies, having been published by Egaeus Press, Side Real Press, and Fulgur Press, among others. Regular collaborations with Tartarus Press have notably featured his cover illustrations for a complete series of Robert Aickman's strange tales. His debut novel In Delirium's Circle was released by Egaeus Press in 2012, followed in 2018 by The Feathered Bough, a fully illustrated second novel published by Zagava.
"Reading a Stephen J. Clark story is akin to being caught inside a
ritual. Clark is a poet of the occult who evokes that strange
region of the imagination where dread and wonder intersect. A
writer and artist with genuine vision, to whom the surreal is
second nature." - Adam L. G. Nevill
"Stephen J. Clark is not only an original visionary artist, he is a
writer of strange romances in the decadent macabre tradition of the
Yellow Nineties: elegant, bizarre, full of curious occult learning
and louche bohemian characters. He is a modest gentleman, otherwise
his work would be blazing more brightly in the literary firmament.
This book will adorn your shelves, where it will be at ease in
shadowy converse with your copies of A Rebours, The Picture of
Dorian Gray, The Great God Pan." - Mark Valentine
"Clark's descriptions of the borderless interiors bleeding into the
outside are memorable dreamscapes . . . The unremitting pace of
these four little mystical thrillers evoke the best of the pulp-era
decadents." - The Pan Review
"Clark's subtle prose, vivid and disturbing imagery, and the
concepts he weaves into his stories make them irresistible to those
whose senses have been jaded by more common fare." - Black
Static
