Ridley Park

Ridley Park writes fiction that sits somewhere between speculative and literary—where language breaks down, meaning misfires, and nobody walks away with clean hands.

His work explores the edges of understanding: how we speak, what we assume, and what gets lost when two people – or two species – try to meet in the middle. Themes range from language failure and cultural projection to alien sex and epistemological unease, not necessarily in that order.

He is the author of:

  • Hemo Sapiens: Awakening – A speculative parable about genetic identity, manufactured humanity, and the price of being almost human in a society that barely tolerates itself.
  • Sustenance — a speculative novella about identity, communication, and the problem of consent when no one shares your framework.
  • Propensity — a novella about the weaponisation of peace.
  • Temporal Babel — a novella about agency, memory, and the comfort of loops.


Ridley lives mostly in his head, occasionally online, and usually writes in proper English. He maintains two blogs: one for readers, one for those who prefer their philosophy with a polemic edge.

If you’ve ever felt that words fail you—good.
