ABOUT RAY

Hello, and welcome to my page. I’m Ray Pantle, writer of contemporary Gothic horror with historical underpinnings, supernatural suspense, and other dark speculative fiction.

The complexities of the human mind fascinate me, so my work largely focuses on internal character transformations, loners and outcasts, flawed protagonists, and the raw yet sympathetic depiction of mental illness. As an avid traveler who’s set foot in places such as Greece, Turkey, India, Peru, and France, international settings often play a role in the stories I weave.

I earned a degree in Creative Writing from the University of Pittsburgh and I’m an active member of the Horror Writers Association. You can find me in Columbus, Ohio, with my wife Kristen and our needy cats.
