I write nightmares people can enjoy and dreams with teeth. Horror, fantasy, and whatever lives where they blur. Stories about grief, memory, identity, and love that refuses to die quietly.

I write nightmares people can enjoy and dreams with teeth. Horror, fantasy, and whatever lives where they blur. Stories about grief, memory, identity, and love that refuses to die quietly. I grew up between Anatolia, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and the steppes. Old places. My writing comes from there too. Myths and half-remembered legends.

I write nightmares people can enjoy and dreams with teeth. Horror, fantasy, and whatever lives where they blur. Stories about grief, memory, identity, and love that refuses to die quietly. I grew up between Anatolia, the Mediterranean, the Middle East, and the steppes. Old places. My writing comes from there too. Myths and half-remembered legends. Born and raised in Istanbul, studied in London. Now I live in a 17th-century stone farmhouse in rural Catalonia with the love of my life (who is an amazing artist), my kids, five dogs, and a deeply judgmental cat named Galadriel who supervises every draft.
