His stories delve into dark fantasy, horror, and romance, creating a space where the mysterious and the mundane collide.

Clifton's latest works include his debut novel, In The Ghost's Shadow, a dark fantasy romance about a young man with extraordinary abilities fighting alongside his love to protect Earth from a powerful, enigmatic threat. He is also the author of short stories like Dark Pink Carnations, The Z-Word, and All Hallows Snipe Hunt, each blending elements of the uncanny with human struggle and desire. These works, published by Wicked Shadow Press, continue to showcase his penchant for dark fiction—stories where heroes must confront monstrous forces, both within and without, to emerge into whatever light they can find.
