M.A. Knights, Comedic British Fantasy. Pull up a chair, it's about to get weird.

Welcome. I’m M.A. Knights, and I write warm, funny, slightly strange tales: paranormal investigations, curious creatures, and people doing their best in worlds that don’t always cooperate.

No pop-ups. No autoplay. No nonsense.

New edition · 21 December
The Lord of Misrule, back for the Longest Night

My darker series, still funny underneath, has been professionally re-edited and comes back out on 21 December. If you’ve read it, you’ll know why that date matters.

A special edition hardback is in the works too: foiled cover, illustrated map endpapers and sprayed edges. No date for that one until I’ve held a proof I’m happy with.
