Hi, I’m Steve Calvert.

Welcome to my site. As you’ve probably guessed, it’s a horror website.

I’ve always been a fan of the horror genre. When I was a child, I loved reading ghost stories and watched countless horror films, sometimes while peering from behind the sofa. Nothing has changed much over the years, except that I now watch films from the correct side of the sofa and have also written a number of short horror stories, many of which have been published in anthologies, magazines, and online. In addition to horror stories, I also write general fiction, and works that fall into the fantasy genre.

In 2006, I became an affiliate member of the Horror Writers Association (HWA). I continued to be a member until 2016, by which point I had stopped writing fiction and was working freelance—mostly writing articles in the health and fitness niche. My creative endeavours remained on hold until 2025, when I began writing stories again and actively submitting my new and old work for publication. The following year, I reactivated my HWA membership and was also accepted as an associate member of the Science Fiction & Fantasy Writers Association.

Apart from being the year I joined the HWA, 2006 was the year I built this site. Initially, I only wanted a place to share my publication credits. Later, I wanted to create an online horror resource and began adding book and movie reviews. Other sections followed, and the site now has pages that contain texts, films, and old radio shows that have fallen into the public domain. The site is now also home to my blog. I’m not a prolific blogger, so I rarely update it, but it’s a good place for me to share my thoughts on subjects such as old TV shows, mythology, and the supernatural.

The “My Stuff” page provides a list of my published stories, grouped by year. In 2006, it was one of only two pages, the other being the home page. A Passion for Horror presently has more than 2,000 pages, so I could be accused of getting a little carried away.

Thanks for visiting my site. Stay a while if you can, and have a good look around. I add fresh content daily, so there’s an ever-increasing number of pages to explore.
