Rae Louise is a horror author from Staffordshire, UK. Her love of the genre began with the Point Horror and Shivers collections, and soon evolved to film and TV. She picked up her first Shaun Hutson book when she was way too young, and then eagerly dived into the darkness that was her mother's bookshelves. Rae's artistic flair led her to take a Diploma in Media Makeup, Prosthetics and Special Effects. She also dabbles in artwork and sells customised gothic decor and handcrafts from her Etsy shop. Being a bit of a recluse, most of her free time is spent with her pets. Rae's first publication was a short story for the dark anthology, Beast: A New Beginning (formerly Beasts: Genesis and Revelations). She wrote Mad Merlin in memory of her paraplegic rabbit. Rae's debut novel, The Fear, is a paranormal horror with psychological elements; influenced by her ongoing battle with anxiety. She also collaborated on Diary of a Gonzo Ghost Hunter, a non-fiction works based on paranormal research journals. Rae's second novel, Metas, was released in April 2019. www.facebook.com/moonrae00 www.instagram.com/corpsedollwrites www.pinterest.co.uk/creepyraelouise
