Cain Quillman is a British author of participatory psychological horror whose work explores folklore, memory, and trauma through restraint rather than spectacle.

He began writing in 2010, initially producing memoir-driven nonfiction concerned with death anxiety and emotional fracture, before transitioning into fiction that resists easy closure.

His novel, Pentlockin, is a meticulously paced psychological horror driven by implication, moral pressure, and the echo of unhealed grief. His stories are for readers drawn to quiet unease and the things left unsaid.

He lives in Durham, England.
