About

     Jonathan Snow writes dark fantasy and speculative fiction shaped by an intimate
understanding of how things are built, how they fail, and what it takes to endure after they do.

​

     Before committing to writing professionally, he spent years working in construction -
learning trades from the ground up and developing a respect for structure, process, and the quiet
consequences of neglect. That perspective carries directly into his fiction, which is less
concerned with spectacle than with pressure: what breaks people, what survives, and what is
changed in the aftermath.

​

     His relationship with writing predates publication by decades. Long before novels, there
were journals and handwritten letters - first as a means of survival, later as craft. The stories
themselves have been refined over years, shaped by lived experience, close observation, and an
unwillingness to romanticize suffering for the sake of comfort.

​

     Snow primarily writes dark fantasy, though his work often crosses genre boundaries when
the story demands it. His supporters will not have to endure much of a wait to discover the
fingerprints of his preoccupations. Attentive readers will notice how psychological tensions and
mental fragility woven like threads through most, if not all of his creative output, sometimes
glinting in the light, other times nearly invisible against the broader pattern. His fiction is
informed by trauma but refuses sentimentality, balancing hard-earned insight with a dry, self-
aware wit that knows when to step aside and let sincerity speak.

​

     He has little interest in authorial mythmaking. The work comes first. The rest is incidental.

When he isn’t writing, he is usually thinking about the next thing he intends to build—on the
page or otherwise.
