Frank Torn writes like a man who shouldn’t be left alone with his own imagination. Based in Brisbane, he’s spent the past decade penning everything from twisted memoirs that laugh in the dark to horror stories that probably keep his neighbours up at night. Now he’s turning his talents to survival and mystery, with a debut thriller arriving October 2025—because what better way to celebrate a Halloween birthday than by terrifying readers for fun? Drawing on his Scottish-Aussie bloodline (equal parts whisky and sunshine), Frank crafts tales thick with atmosphere, bite, and a sly wink at the abyss. When he’s not writing, you’ll find him in Brisbane with his dogs—plotting, observing, and pretending everyday life is normal inspiration rather than raw material for the next unsettling chapter.
“Write what keeps you awake at night.”
