Raymond Gates is an Aboriginal Australian author whose childhood crush with all things dark and horrifying became an adult love affair with dark fiction and horror. He has multiple published short fiction stories, some of which feature in award winning anthologies and have been nominated for the Australian Shadows awards, and one, The Little Red Man, given an honorable mention in The Best Horror of the Year 2014, edited by Ellen Datlow.
While he continues to work on short fiction, his primary focus is the publication of his first novel.
He currently resides in Wisconsin, USA.
