Welcome to the website of Scottish novelist and poet Tom McCulloch. Here you can find information on Tom’s novels, short stories and poetry, as well as latest news.

The Stillman, Tom’s 2014 debut novel, received excellent reviews. It earned Tom the accolade of Amazon Rising Star. Tom followed up with A Private Haunting in 2016, garnering him acclaim as a ‘blistering new talent on the literary scene.’ 2018’s The Accidental Recluse – a tale about brothers, lovers and all that’s lost in the longing to get what you want- was similarly well-received.

Tom has a story in the newly published American crime fiction compilation Jacked (Run Amok Crime, 2022). ‘The Drop’ is about a strange man with a locked bag waiting on a bridge for a connection who may or may not be coming.
