Leo Hunt

Leo Hunt is a British author born in 1991 in Newcastle upon Tyne, known for young adult horror fantasy. His Luke Manchett series -- Thirteen Days of Midnight, Eight Rivers of Shadow, and Seven Trees of Stone -- follows a teenager who inherits his dead father's coven of monstrous spirit servants and must learn to control them, blending British folk horror with coming-of-age fantasy. He also wrote the standalone YA horror novel Phantom. Hunt's fiction draws on English folklore and ghost-story tradition, reworked through a contemporary teenage protagonist navigating inherited supernatural responsibility.
