ABOUT GERALD LOCKE

Short Bio (For quick print or social use)

Gerald Locke writes fiction structured around closed systems, procedural escalation, and outcomes governed by constraint rather than intervention. His work spans horror, speculative fiction, and fantasy, and is unified by an interest in systems that remain intact after revelation.

Long Bio (Full media use)

Gerald Locke writes fiction organized around constraint, escalation, and consequence. His work spans horror, speculative fiction, and fantasy, and is unified by an interest in closed systems—narrative environments in which rules persist after revelation and outcomes are determined by structure rather than intervention.

Across series such as The Chronicles of Elifdar, The Veilborn Trilogy, and The Solomon Arcanum, Locke constructs internally consistent worlds governed by systemic pressures rather than moral resolution. His standalone novels examine similar dynamics at intimate scale, focusing on procedural inevitability, institutional failure, and the limits of agency.

His work is characterized by structural coherence, atmospheric precision, and narratives that prioritize recognition over consolation.
