Urban Creatures Reviews

Sarah writes beautifully and he sense of foreboding and unease is brilliantly conveyed. It echoes Mary Shelly or Edgar Allen Poe. -Clare Balding, award-winning broadcaster, journalist. and author
Brilliant on so many levels. It can't fail to engage you! -Helena Frith Powell, international bestselling author
Urban Creatures contains finely wrought explorations of urban dread. Gods of Anxiety produce panic attacks while vampires work as palliative care therapists. The stories are all therapy, of a sort, with death a constant lingering presence. Comforting, in a way; the kind of private, personal work that looks right into your soul. Beautifully written and beautifully illustrated, Urban Creatures takes you to dark places while reassuring you that you're not alone. -Zack Davisson, author of Kaibyo: The Supernatural Cats of Japan & Yurei: The Japanese Ghost

About Sarah Gray

Sarah Gray has been storytelling all of her professional life. As a writer and filmmaker she is delighted by what she fears and loves to explore the darkly comic side of the human psyche. In a scary and illogical world there is plenty to allow her imagination free reign. Stories enable us to face the worst that can happen and then get back to everyday life, pretending the terrible stuff only happens to other people. In October 2015, Sarah's fears were realized when she was diagnosed with Motor Neuron Disease. Since then she has been learning how to adapt to chronic disability and adjusting to the horror of a terminal illness.
