About me:
I write speculative fiction: from SF to horror. My science fiction tales are sometimes dark, sometimes humorous while my horror stories range from understated psychological to full-on gorefest.
I’ve been a fan of speculative fiction from the moment I first saw the film Forbidden Planet on TV at the tender age of six or seven and there is a strong family rumour that I’m a descendant of the Dorset poet, William Barnes, so I guess it was almost inevitable that I’d start writing fiction some day.Visit Screaming Dreams and check out the Paperback Books section to find details of my forthcoming short story collection, Obsidian Dreams.
My tales have been published in numerous print publications; a few recent ones are listed below:
My short story 'Your House From The Sky' is set to appear in the forthcoming anthology: Dead Ends.
'Eldora's' is published in the anthology: Old Blood, New Souls.
'Encounter With the Dead' appears in the Halloween 2007 special of Estronomicon.
'Meet Your Maker' is published in issue #41 of Black Petals.
'Rite of Passage' appears in issue #40 of Black Petals.
'In the Rivermen's Lair' was published in issue #2 of Hub Magazine
'The Tree and the Switch' appears in issue #38 of Black Petals.
My tale 'The Strange Disappearance of Liam Nichols' is the opening story in the Hadesgate anthology Tiny Terrors Vol.1
My short story 'As Good as it Gets' is published in issue #37 of Black Petals.
'The Dead Which Were In It' appears in issue #13 of Whispers of Wickedness.
'Make Things Good' is published in issue #36 of Black Petals.

Here's what people are saying about my novella, Monkey Love:
"John Paul Allen delivers well-drawn characters and emotional dynamite in this tale of dark suspense" - Scott Nicholson, author of They Hunger.
"One sadistic piece of work by one of the most talented new voices in dark fiction." - Karen Koehler, author of the Slayer series.
"Disturbing and intense, this story is a one-sit read that races, carrying you along to grim, uncharted terrain." - Lee Thomas, Bram Stoker Award-Winning author of Stained, Parish Damned and The Dust of Wonderland.
"From the first page, Monkey Love draws you into a surreal world that teeters on a disturbing balance of madness, eroticism, and obsession." David Niall Wilson, author of Deep Blue and Ancient Eyes.
"It's a wild ride, and I loved it from first page to last." - John R. Little, author of The Memory Tree and Placeholders.
"Exquisitely well-written, more than slightly twisted and compelling erotica for all horror readers." T.M. Wright, author of the forthcoming Bone Soup and Blue Canoe.
"Monkey Love is my first read by John Paul Allen and I can promise it won't be the last. Touching, peverse, oddly poignant and riddled with interesting questions about the nature of love and obsession, I can't recommend it enough. Monkey Love is the sort of tale that pushes the boundaries of comfortable and makes us question our own morals." - James A. Moore, author of Deeper and Blood Red.
