Hello Everybody!

I figured this bio was looking a little cobwebby, so here to update it a bit (Sept 2025). What's changed in the decade since I wrote my initial bio? Mmmm, not a lot. I still enjoy bubblebaths, strong coffee and passionate conversations, moonlit walks on the beach, eldritch horrors and biological horrors run amuck.

Oh, and I have a new book: The Queen!

The following years should see the arrival of The Dorians (2026?), The Coffin Worms and other Grotesques (2027?), The Invaders (2028?) Gravenhurst (etc), and republications of The Acolyte and The Breach ... after which I will likely devolve into a puddle of sentient goo (2030 - RIP).

IN MY FATHER'S BASEMENT: A serial killer novel
INTERCEPTS: A horror novel

Through this style, Payne weaves in deeper themes and questions about human nature, particularly the subtle line between Good and Evil. Traditional Hero and Villain archetypes are often flipped in Payne's work. His characters may not always be likable, but their faults and sins are profoundly human.

Humans are the only species on Earth with the capability to create both great beauty and unspeakable acts of cruelty. The exploration of that duali

Gabriel Blake

My preferred genre is psychological thrillers. I love all the plotting involved in creating a story with twists, turns, and jaw-dropping moments. Some would say my writing is aimed more toward horror-thriller.
I love to read books by Stephen King, Mark Billingham, James Patterson, Dean Koontz, Jeffery Deaver, Val McDermid, Peter James, and Teresa Driscoll to mention a few.
I also love movies like Seven, The Shining, Misery, LA Confidential, Silence of the Lambs and almost everything from John Hughes in the 80s and early 90s. I was a huge Brat Pack fan. Tv shows include the likes of Silent Witness, Endeavour, Line of Duty, Luther, Vera, Breaking Bad, You, Game of Thrones, True Detective, Fargo, and similar.
