Steve studied at the Architectural Association in London where he witnessed Dame Zaha Hadid fall through a canvas chair (admittedly she was just plain Ms Hadid then). He spent most of his working life selling and restoring Italian country homes, so spent many years living in London and Italy. Steve grew up on Hammer Horror films, Dennis Wheatley and M R James stories, so not surprising that his main genre is horror and dark matter. He reads his work and that of others on his YouTube Channel - Steve Emmett in Other Words. He is a member of Humanists UK, writing and leading humanist funerals and wedding ceremonies on their behalf.
