About the author

GREGORY ALEXANDER SHARP is a professional services executive who has worked for some of the world's best known tech and consulting companies. He's always been something of a storyteller, and a huge fan of the supernatural tales that made his spine tingle as a boy. Greg is also a multi-published author, podcaster, and voice actor.
Novels:
IL LUPO, his first published novel, draws on Greg's love for the classic Hollywood horror movies (think Bela Lugosi, Boris Karloff, and of course, Lon Chaney Jnr), but also on his own personal experiences with loss, and grief, and anxiety. Woven together with a real sense of building tension and jeopardy, and with a smattering of Greg's sense of humour, Il Lupo is the first book he always wanted to write.
KILL AND CURE builds on the themes from Il Lupo and drives them ever further, with Nick Frobisher struggling to manage the stresses of work, grief, and his best friend's lycanthropy. We are introduced to gangsters and vampires, and we reconnect with familiar characters. Kill And Cure has been written in such a way that it can be read as a sequel to Il Lupo, or can easily stand alone as a distinct story.
Short-stories:
THE BRIDGE, which touches on how adult problems can easily cause damage to teenagers in the home. Again, Greg brings personal experiences to the fore here. In less than four thousand words, we are introduced to a broken heart, a disrupted education, bullying, public humiliation, the perils of social media, and mental health problems... oh, and watch out for the ghost!
THE TRAPDOOR is set in post-war Britain, where young Billy lives on a street in which the bombed remnants of house Number Seven hold much fascination. The other children are afraid to go into the ruins which were once the home of the mysterious Mr. Smith, but not Billy, he is a brave boy. One dark night, Billy decides to explore the ruins by himself, convinced that he will be able to hear echoes from the past.
Podcasts:
WEREWOLF THE PODCAST - A SERIAL [KILLER] DRAMA is a weekly serial drama following the adventures of Wil the Werewolf and his wolf-soul/alter-ego, Fen. This is Fenrir Thorvaldsen's show, and Greg voice-acts a number of the characters, including Simon - The Professor, and William Marshal. Additionally, Greg was invited to collaborate on writing the show, and personally wrote and acted in episode 145 - Oh, What A Knight, and many more besides. Available for free on Amazon and Audible.
POD BY THE FIRESIDE. Also available for free on Amazon and Audible, there are a number of shows taking a deep dive into werewolves in mythology and folklore, culture, movies, and fiction. You can also hear interviews with authors Fenrir Thorvaldsen, and Adrien Lopez, as well as Greg delivering readings from his own work and being interviewed by Fenrir. It's a must for lycanthrope lovers.
Greg is currently working on a new IL LUPO novel with the working title HEAL THYSELF. Watch this space.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 31, 2024Nice cover even though it’s a little hard to see where the door is.
What a great backdrop. #7 house was obliterated by a V-1, buzz bomb or doodle-bug as they were called in World War Two. The house took a direct hit yet none of the houses next to it were not damaged. That in itself is strange for these were very powerful “wunder weapons” Adolph Hitler had sanctioned.
Enter little Billy who like most young boys has a knack of curiosity and one night he decides to sneak out and explore the old hour that Mr. Smith(?) used to live in.
Mr. Smith was an oddity as none of the neighbors knew him and he only came out during late fall and winter when the nights were longer and the sun failed to shine. He never bought groceries anyone could remember. He was only seen going to the hardware store for non-descript items. You can probably guess where this is going.
The morale of this short tale is, “Let sleeping dogs lie (vampires).” Why? You might become the rejuvenating meal they need. Just ask Billy who was never seen again.
If you’re a fan of a good short horror tale, pick up a copy.
