Long bio: Alex Mura is a London-based author of dark literary thrillers and psychological horror. Born in Izhevsk, Russia in 1996, he moved to England at the age of seven. At sixteen, he became Wattpad’s youngest-ever Ambassador and later went on to work in finance and tech before leaving it all behind in 2023 to write full time.

His work explores the darker sides of human behaviour — obsession, secrecy, identity, and control — always grounded in realism. His debut novel, Silence In The Basement, is a brutal, character-driven body horror. His latest, Fragmented, is a psychological thriller about a man whose search for escape takes a dangerous turn.

When he’s not writing, Alex can usually be found talking to readers on TikTok or digging through second-hand bookshops.
