Louise Worthington writes literary gothic thrillers set in the rural landscapes of Shropshire and the Welsh borders. Her novels blend domestic noir, psychological suspense, and atmospheric horror, featuring morally complex female protagonists who reclaim power through dangerous means.

Worthington's distinctive voice combines poetic prose with visceral violence, where ancient yew trees contain bodies, poisonous gardens become instruments of revenge, and Victorian institutions harbour supernatural horrors. Her work explores the darkness beneath domesticity, the violence embedded in landscape, and the thin line between victim and perpetrator.

With degrees in literature and psychology, and experience as an English teacher, Worthington brings psychological depth and literary craftsmanship to genre fiction. Her novels include "Rosie Shadow," "Rachel's Garden," "The Entrepreneur," "Doctor Glass," and "Forgotten Dark."

She lives with her family in Shropshire, UK—the landscape that haunts her fiction.

She is twice nominated for the Pushcart Prize for poetry. Her novels appeal to fans of Andrew Michael Hurley and Michelle Paver.
