Peter Crowther is a published English author of fiction.
Peter Crowther was born on July 4, 1949. In addition to being a novelist, he is also a journalist, a short story writer, an anthologist, and an editor and publisher. He has founded PS Publishing along with Simon Conway.
Crowther also serves as editor for science fiction genre short story anthologies published by DAW Books. He also serves as the editor for Postscripts, which is an anthology that was been available to the public since 2004.
Peter Crowther is the creator and author of the Forever Twilight series of novels. The first book was published in 2002 and is titled Darkness Falling. The second novel is titled Windows to the Soul. They are set in the post-apocalyptic genre. The anthology has also since 2012 released volume 4 and 5 of the Exotic Gothic series.
Peter Crowther has done quite well with some short stories succeeding in the early seventies. Around that time, he decided to focus much of his energies on working on journalism in music and the arts. This included conducting interviews with artists such as Brian Wilson, Frank Zappa, Cliff Richard and David Putnam. He also served as the head of corporate communications for one of the largest financial institutions in the United Kingdom.
Peter Crowther then went back to focusing more on the literary side of things. He did freelance review columns as well as articles and interviews. He conducted interviews with people such as Patrick McGrath, Ramsey Campbell, and Jonathan Carroll as part of the horror and fantasy genre. He also interviewed science fiction writers Ian Watson, Harlan Ellison, and Ray Bradbury. Crowther also interviewed people in the crime genre such as Andrew Vachss, Ed Gorman, and Robert B. Parker.
Meanwhile, he came back to the world of fiction and started writing short stories again. His fiction that he wrote was the first he composed in two decades and it was published in Fear, a British magazine. He also sold some stories to the publications Dark Voices 4 and Darklands 2. It was Darklands 2 that was said to be a great lesson in how one should write a ghost story by Interzone. Peter Crowther has since written seventy more stories that he has sold to different magazines and anthologies.
Darkness Falling is the first novel in the Forever Twilight series by Peter Crowther. If you are a fan of the horror or post-apocalyptic zombie genre or can’t get enough of the television show The Walking Dead, be sure to check this book out!
What would you do if a light appeared and then you were cut off from the outside world entirely? What would you do if zombie monsters were everywhere on top of it? Would you panic?
Four employees at a radio station see a light that cuts off the outside world. Then they find that the people around them have been taken over by zombies when they weren’t disappeared and is making them not act like themselves. Jesman’s Bend is someplace that is going through something unique, although the population that lives there is not sure what.
But it’s not Jesman’s Bend alone that is going through this. This unique phenomenon is hitting everywhere in America. The unearthly flash of light has led to an entirely new set of circumstances setting among the people. Jesman’s Bend is utterly cut off from communicating with anyone on the outside and they are on their own.
The KMRT employees decide to go out as a foursome to look into what has happened for themselves. They find out that the town has been somehow emptied of people. They just somehow disappeared right in the middle of their daily routines, and there is no explanation from it. But then things get even weirder when faces that they recognize appear not that long after, all of them wearing gloves and sunglasses to conceal how they look.
The radio station employees have to figure out what they are going to do in this situation. Little do they know that this is happening many places besides their own. But this is no time to start to freak out when there’s so much to be aware of. They have to deal with zombie monsters and even regular human monsters as they try to figure out what’s going on in the middle American town that could be anywhere– a town just like yours.
In the depopulated town, the employees are going to have to figure out how they can fend off the zombies and make it to the other side as they do so. Can they live in harmony with the remaining survivors of Jesman’s Bend? Or are they going to quickly find out that they have to be careful with who they associate with?
Check out a copy of Darkness Falling by Peter Crowther to find out what happens to the people in Jesman’s Bend!
Windows to the Soul is the second novel to come out in the Darkness Falling series by Peter Crowther. If you thought that the first book was intriguing, you’ll love reading another apocalyptic story from this author!
Earth is hit by an odd light that has managed to make people disappear from the planet. Just one day after the event, a small amount of them are returned. But where you would hope that they were the same, the people that have come back have changed from the way that they were.
They just come out when the sun comes down and even in the darkness, they were dark glasses. They also have thick gloves on their hands and they can apparently kill with just the touch of their hands without gloves. They also customize various vehicles and mechanical equipment for their own purposes.
A group is on their own with each other being all they have on a journey through this new world. Not all of them may make it. From the first book, a foursome from the radio station emerges to try and survive along with a girl that has precognitive abilities and a husband, as well as more survivors that come in along the journey.
When these include a serial killer and a woman that hears voices, the group has to give all that they’ve got because time is running out for humanity. Can they make it through on the streets? Can they save themselves? Read this horror novel to find out!
