Luke Phillips

Luke Phillips is a writer with a real passion for monsters. Having studied as a zoologist, his imagination has always been captivated by the darker side of our unnatural history.

From trekking through California looking for Bigfoot to camping out in the Highlands on the trail of real-life reported big cats, Luke has strayed from the mainstream into the eerie world of cryptozoology. There, truth may well be stranger and far scarier than fiction!

He lives in the West Kent town of Sevenoaks in the UK. Shadow Beast is his debut novel and is out now.
