ABOUT JM. MERRYT
My Professional Writing Portfolio
I'm an Australian horror writer who specialises in folklore. I've been writing for as long as I can remember, and I'm thrilled to share my work with you. I hope you'll enjoy reading my work as much as I enjoyed writing it.
SELECTED WORKS
I’ve put together a selection of my most recent and memorable work. I’m proud of each and every piece.
"Its head was as hollow as an eggshell, its toothless maw so thin he could see the faint glitter of the streetlights through its cheeks."
