Richard Lau

About the Author

Richard Lau is a master of the macabre, weaving tales that transform the mundane horrors of corporate life into spine-chilling narratives of dread and despair. With a keen eye for the absurdities of office politics and the psychological toll of endless meetings, Lau's stories delve into the shadowy underbelly of the nine-to-five grind, where ambition turns to obsession and colleagues become unwitting monsters. Drawing from his own experiences navigating the cutthroat world of business, he crafts protagonists who grapple with existential fears amid fluorescent lights and cubicle walls. Lau's debut collection, Executive Dread: Tales of Office Horror, has garnered acclaim for its sharp wit and unrelenting tension, establishing him as a fresh voice in contemporary horror. When not plotting the downfall of fictional executives, he resides in Vancouver, where he observes the daily commute with a storyteller's suspicious gaze.
