Website: http://peterluther.co.uk/

A Welshman living in Cardiff. All of Peter’s stories are set in Wales and are supernatural thrillers that nevertheless explore real life themes. Raised on Evangelical teachings where hell and damnation were absolute certainties, Peter’s upbringing has been an inspiration for his subject matter. He is currently wokring on a new novel entitled Precious Cargo and is a Member of Academi.

Reviews:
With respect to The Mourning Vessels (Y Lolfa, 2008)

"…This is a classic good versus evil...enough to make you flinch at times, while admiring the imagination and accomplishment of a very fine author...a triumphant second novel..."

Dark Covenant (Y Lolfa, 2007)

In life, this woman must have been very strong. She wanted something very badly -and the Devil gave it to her. But the force of will was so great, the prize so dearly bought, that this document of her life has survived. In the nineteenth century a sinister publication transformed a disfigured prostitute into a beautiful and wealthy socialite. Her estate and her legacy continued long after her death. Now in the form of a glossy magazine it is performing miracles for a lawyer down on his luck. Its crossword holds the template to his dreams, and, if he can decipher it, the key to his soul.
