Marie MacFarlane

Marie MacFarlane is a British author of speculative and literary fiction whose work blends emotional storytelling with dystopian themes, mythology, dark humour, and deeply human characters. Her novels often explore grief, identity, resilience, foriveness, and the fragile connections that endure even in the darkest circumstances.

Inspired by history, philosophy, music, and the complexity of human nature, she writes stories that balance cinematic atmospheres with intimate emotional journeys. Her debut novel, Dawn of Ages, introduced readers to a dystopian future shaped by authoritarian power and forgotten history, while The Journey explores the soul's passage through death, healing, and redemption against the backdrop of a war-torn world.

Marie's writing is known for its blend of realism and surrealism, where moments of absurd humour can exist alongside tragedy, tenderness, and existential reflection.

When she is not writing, she enjoys researching history and world cultures, listening to music that inspires new scenes, and developing future stories filled with flawed, unforgettable characters.
