Rowan Stirling crafts psychological horror that explores the shadowy corners of human nature and the terrors that lurk in seemingly ordinary places. His debut collection, 'What Darkness Keeps,' weaves together tales of psychological transformation, supernatural entities, and the thin line between reality and madness. Born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, Stirling developed a deep connection to nature while exploring Georgia's national parks, which became both sanctuary and inspiration. This early immersion in natural spaces, combined with his fascination with the occult and foundation in dark poetry, shapes his distinctive voice in horror literature. Influenced by masters of the genre—Richard Matheson, J.W. Ocker, Stephen King, and Edgar Allan Poe—Stirling brings a keen eye for psychological complexity and atmospheric tension to his work. His writing examines how everyday spaces, from wilderness trails to suburban homes, can become vessels for profound darkness. 'What Darkness Keeps' marks Stirling's first published collection, establishing him as a fresh voice in horror with a style that blends psychological depth with supernatural dread.
