Urban fantasy, horror stories and psychological dramas.

John Raven and Maggie MacQuill established Warbreck Publishing in August 2024 as an outlet for their creative talents. Their aim is to write entertaining but accessible stories. 

At present, these will be in the urban fantasy, post-apocalyptic, horror and psychological drama genres, but they do not wish to be constrained by such boundaries. So, don't be surprised if they chuck in a story about a ferret called Footsy along the way. Anything goes!

John Raven

John Raven was born sometime in the late 20th century. The hospital responsible for this outrage has been erased from history. The school that made a half-hearted attempt to educate him, torn down. The drinking establishments he frequented in his youth, refashioned as a medical centre and a supermarket. The places he worked, bulldozed. If you want a place destroying, just invite John along. It'll be a memory in seconds. In the meantime, he'll tell a few stories.  

 He specialises in urban fantasy, post apocalyptic and other-world stories. Oh, and creating rubble.
