"At his best Jeffreys writes memorable, perturbating prose with an overwhelming sense of menace. The stories stay with the reader, touching something in the psyche that is both troubling and intriguing." Bristol Review of Books.
I'm greatly honoured to have had my story 'Here Comes Mr Herribone!' featured on Kristin Holland's Nocturnal Transmissions podcast. Kristin did a wonderful job narrating the story. Even though it's my story I found it a genuinely terrifying listen!

As a huge admirer of the work Rebecca Parfitt does on her 'modern day penny dreadful, The Ghastling, it's a real honour for me to have my work appear in it's pages. 'The Silence of the Heart' is another story about those shape-shifters that inhabit the Yorkshire Moors (more info here).Always beautifully designed and illustrated, with carefully chosen stories, The Ghastling is a wonderful thing to have plop through your letterbox, so why not visit their online shop and grab yourself a copy? Or two?
Me and fellow Manta Press author, Michael Wertenberg, recently had a Zoom conversation about my novella Holburn, our writing processes, inspirations, and Michael's own books. The video, which is part of Michael's 'Author's Talking Shop' series on his Youtube channel, can be viewed below. It was a pleasure chatting with Michael.
The Secrecy of the Heart concerns a confused young man named Benjamin whose car breaks down on the Yorkshire Moors, forcing him to seek refuge at an isolated house. Things at the house are not as they appear, but his time there will eventually lead him to an important revelation about himself. This story is linked to two stories I've previously written, The Shape of the Heart and The Lies of the Heart, as well as an as yet unpublished novel called The False Ones.
