About
A South African writer and producer based in Cape Town, Mitchell Lüthi is known for dark, atmospheric medieval horror and grimdark fantasy. Before turning to long-form fiction he worked across scripts, short stories and radio plays, and his short story 'The Bone Fields' earned an honorable mention in the 2020 L. Ron Hubbard Writers of the Future Competition.
His debut full-length novel, Pilgrim: A Medieval Horror, follows a German knight's nightmarish return from the Crusades, while his Plagueborne Trilogy and his Pierre-and-Remi books, His Black Tongue and In the Name of the Worm, mine the religious dread and bodily horror of plague-stricken medieval Europe.
Lüthi publishes through Sentinel Creatives, his own Cape Town indie press and production house, for which he also produces and scores the Sentinel Creatives Podcast and releases his fiction in full-cast audiobook editions.
His writing is marked by vivid, sensory imagery and a willingness to confront the cruelest corners of medieval history, blending meticulous historical texture with supernatural and folkloric horror drawn from Christian, German, Arabic and pre-Islamic traditions.
