Louis Le Clercq is the author of Ravenbrook, a supernatural tale filled with magic, mystery, and the complexities of identity. A lifelong storyteller, Louis crafts character-driven narratives that blend the eerie with the emotional, creating immersive worlds where secrets lurk just beneath the surface. He writes about haunted towns, fractured legacies, and the kind of love that refuses to die.
His current project, Ravenbrook, follows a boy who wants nothing to do with his powerful family-until he finds himself drawn into a world of old magic, dangerous secrets, and a stranger who feels like home. Expect dark undercurrents, sharp edges, and moments of unexpected warmth.
When not writing, Louis enjoys unwinding with a good series (currently watching Rutherford Falls and Dark Winds), curating the perfect playlist for each scene, and rewarding a successful writing session with a glass of Malbec—preferably from Argentina.
