Brian McAleer is a Melbourne-based writer of thriller, suspense, and horror fiction. At 42, he's a husband, father, and full-time worker who carves out his writing hours late at night — when the world is quiet and the imagination can roam freely.
Brian’s stories are driven by the kinds of narratives he loves to read: unpredictable, character-driven tales that build tension and keep readers guessing until the very end. His writing stands out for its original ideas, layered characters, and a steady, deliberate build toward thrilling climaxes. Themes of creativity, self-discovery, the paranormal intruding on the everyday, and the intricacies of human relationships often pulse beneath the surface of his work.
He began writing as a kid, reimagining his favourite books, movies, and TV shows, but it wasn’t until his late twenties that he began to take the craft seriously. At 31, he self-published his first book — a non-fiction work focused on goal setting. Since then, his focus has shifted fully to fiction, and he is currently hard at work on his debut novel.
Brian is passionate about exploring new genres and ideas, and he’s brimming with concepts for future stories. With a lifelong love for writing and storytelling, he aims to build a body of work that spans genres and connects with a wide range of readers.
