Scott Tirrell

Scott Austin Tirrell writes dark fantasy because apparently the real world doesn't contain enough dead people, ruined faiths, and gods with questionable motives.

Most of his stories take place in Lucardia, a world with a long memory and a rather serious problem with its dead. Its people have been taught many comforting things about history, religion, power, and what happens when the reaper’s sickle swings. Unfortunately, much of it is wrong.

Scott is less interested in heroes than in complicated people who stumble into mysteries they probably should have left alone—and then have to live with what they find.

When he isn’t writing, Scott wanders old cemeteries in search of character names and thinks about fictional people as though they have personally inconvenienced him.

He lives near Boston with his wife and maintains a healthy distrust of ravens.
