Nestled in the picturesque hills of Derbyshire lies the quaint village of Castleton, the birthplace of Steven Plant in 1964. Steven’s formative years were spent in the nearby town of Woodley,
Stockport, surrounded by the vibrant energy of his brothers and sisters. This idyllic upbringing in the English countryside has deeply influenced Steven's writing, particularly his fascination with the paranormal, a passion that continues to thrive today.
For those fortunate enough to roam the scenic paths of Castleton, you might just spot Steven and his wife Amanda walking their two Rockwell dogs, soaking in the serenity of the landscapes that inspired his literary pursuits.
Though life has led Steven to a new home in Stockport, Castleton remains a cherished sanctuary where inspiration flows as freely as the rivers winding through the region.
Steven's literary journey began in the 1980s with a unique endeavor: he penned a book about the haunting tales that lingered within the walls of the Stockport Library.
This compelling work not only documented spectral occurrences but was also preserved within the reference library, marking the beginning of his long-standing connection to the supernatural.
Today, Steven dedicates his spare time to writing, often escaping to the countryside for relaxation and longer walks, which he finds rejuvenating and creatively enlightening.
This communion with nature fuels his imagination and prompts the creation of compelling narratives that have captivated readers.
Not just an author, Steven is also an ardent music lover, particularly fond of the Swedish rock band Europe and the symphonic metal group Within Temptation.
His enthusiasm for these bands sees him attending their concerts, where the energy of live music further inspires his creativity.
Over the years, Steven has expanded his horizons into television, contributing his expertise to several paranormal TV shows. However, it is in writing that he finds his true passion. "Now I write for pleasure," he says, reflecting on his journey as an author. His hope is that readers enjoy his books as much as he relishes the writing process.
His bibliography showcases a diverse array of themes and genres, with titles like Poetry From The Darkside: Poems From Hell and Tales Of The Darkside: Tales Of Horror, each offering a glimpse into his imaginative world. Collaborations such as Night Tales: Poetry From Beyond with Gail Noble also highlight his versatility and appeal to a range of interests.
Other notable works include Ghosts, Myths & Legends of Derbyshire, with royalties benefitting the charity of Queen’s Brian May, and A Ghostly Guide to Haunted England, which invites readers to explore the eerie folklore embedded within English culture. His deep dive into haunted locales is evident in titles like Most Haunted Pubs from Around England and England's Best Haunted Pubs, showcasing his commitment to illuminating the often-overlooked lore of old establishments.
In every story Steven shares, whether through chilling poetry, gripping tales, or informative guides, he aims to instill a sense of wonder and curiosity about the supernatural. It is this blend of personal experience, rich local folklore, and a perpetual quest for inspiration that makes his work resonate with readers and audiences alike.
As you leaf through his books or listen to his stories, each page provides a portal into the shadows of England, inviting you to join him in exploring the supernatural.
