Ian Futter began writing surreal stories and poems in his childhood as an escape from a world in which he felt increasingly isolated. His recent decision to share these poems has led to his work appearing in numerous publications. To date he has had poems published in all 10 volumes of S.T. Joshi's Spectral Realms anthologies, Jason Brock's Bram Stoker-nominated anthology, The Darke Phantastique, and 2 editions of Centipede Press's Weird Fiction Review of the year. He continues to write in a richly metaphorical style, which he hopes will help readers make sense of their lives, and which S.T. Joshi recognised when he described Ian's work as “no mere shudder-coining.”
