Ali Abbas

I am a writer, photographer and carpenter from London. What this means in practice is that I have taken some snaps of weddings and sports teams, built a treehouse that did not fall down in the winter storms, and I have several books and stories in anthologies to my name.

My novella Like Clockwork is a steampunk, mystery, anti-romance.

Image and Other Stories is a collection of seven short stories on love, loss and the haunting nature of bad decisions.

Hajj - My Pilgrimage is a western eye travelogue recalling my trip to Mecca in 2011. It was a journey marked by political strife, moments of comedy and tragedy, and a remarkable epiphany.

Mad Scientist Journal has published a couple of my stories: The Fitting In anthology includes my love letter to London: An Absolute Amount of Sadness and the Utter Fabrication anthology includes my ghost story: The Girl Who Gives Me Sunsets.

If you are looking for a modern djinn story check out Désolé Habibti is in the On Fire anthology from Transmundane Press. A more traditional take on djinn is in the appropriately titled Adiha and the Three Djinn which you'll find in the Witches, Warriors and Wyverns anthology.

If you lean more to the literary try out The Book of Condolence in What We Talk About When We Talk About It.
