Lance MarwoodLance Marwood is a Canadian writer whose work explores the intersection of horror, folklore, and the unsettling edges of the human experience. Born in Caledon East, Ontario, his journey as a storyteller has been shaped by stark contrasts-small-town bginnings, urban struggles, and formative travels through India, Hong Kong, and England. His writing career began in 2008 as the host of The Hard Stuff, a college radio show at Ryerson University (now Toronto Metropolitan University) that spotlighted the hardcore music scene. As a frontman for Toronto-based hardcore bands, he developed a voice steeped in intensity, channeling themes of unease and existential dread-both on stage and on the page. After relocating to the UK in 2015, he wrote extensively for V13 Media (formerly PureGrainAudio), publishing over 250 articles, reviews, and features. Returning to Canada in 2020, he co-founded V13 Promotions and later V13 Press, an imprint dedicated to amplifying independent voices in publishing. His debut novel, The Cherale, blends psychological horror with folklore, crafting a narrative that lingers long after the final page. Lance lives in Hamilton, Ontario, with his wife, their two children, and a cat with a mind of its own. Read More Read Less
