Clifton Brown is an author who draws deeply from his experiences in the U.S. Navy, weaving them into dark, evocative stories that explore the boundaries between light and shadow. With several published short stories and a debut fiction novel, an anthology, and two nonfiction works, Clifton has found writing to be a powerful way to navigate his past, honoring his service while exploring the catharsis of storytelling, self-healing, and discovery.
His fiction often deals with the struggle for hope amid darkness, guiding characters through love and loss in unpredictable ways. As he crafts tales of demons, extraterrestrial forces, and the supernatural, Clifton brings to life flawed, yet resilient characters, pushing them toward growth even when the path is painful. His stories delve into dark fantasy, horror, sci-fi, 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.
With an affinity for the weird and the wondrous and an unapologetic romantic, Clifton enjoys creating worlds where danger is ever-present, but love and resilience still shine through, however unexpectedly.
