Trent Aitken-Smith

I am a writer based in York, England. My articles, interviews and features appear in various international magazines. I write regularly for Skin Deep Tattoo Magazine, where my work covers features, interviews, personal stories and studio reviews.

I also write dark, slightly disturbing, thought-provoking short stories, that focus on the subculture and undercurrent hidden in daily life. My themes touch on modern life’s deviant sexual and violent nature. As one reviewer commented, “this writing could only be created in the mind of the love child of Chuck Palahniuk and Hunter S. Thompson”.

My debut collection of short stories, From The Lodge To The City, is now available from Amazon or my webstore.

From The Lodge To The City is a collection of seven short stories that will leave you dazed, shocked and breathless but ultimately, wanting more. From the opening story, of a boy’s struggle to claim back the life torn from him as a child, through tales of violence, anger and redemption, finally culminating in a love story born of abuse and violence - From The Lodge To The City will have you mesmerized.
