PJ Greystoke doesn’t sleep much. This is probably for the best — the things that visit him in the small hours have a habit of ending up in print.

Based in Newcastle upon Tyne, PJ writes dark fiction for people who like their stories with teeth. His debut novel Professor Tempus and the Trouble with Time Travel was shortlisted in the UK Novel Writing Competition and his short fiction has been published in the United States as part of the Indiana Horror Collection. He holds a Masters in Creative Writing, which he uses primarily to justify the darker corners of his imagination.

His current obsession is Timor — a fictional town where the strange and sinister exist just beneath the surface of ordinary life. The Timor universe lives on Substack as a weekly serialised dark fiction publication, complete with audio and graphic novel illustrations produced in collaboration with his son. The Timor novel is coming.

He is neurodivergent, easily distracted by everything, and has been told on more than one occasion that his friends and family live in fear of becoming characters.

They are probably right to worry.
