Hi! I'm Max.
I write mostly m/m romance. I've been writing a long time and telling stories is really the center of my life. I do a lot of historical and sci-fi, some paranormal. Almost the only thing I don't write is contemporary. I hope I'll get the chance to tell you some...

We’re here to spotlight your occult/supernatural Gothic Horror series, The Sleepy Hollow Incident. Can you tell us what inspired this series, and share your influences?
100%. Let me provide a brief background to the evolution of the story first. I first wrote the story as a screenplay in the late 90s, then as a novel in the early 2000s. Unfortunately, they were lost in what I refer to as the great laptop tragedy of 2005.
Now, let’s come back to the present. Needless to say, I’ve always been intrigued by the Faustian bargain (when someone sells their soul for immediate gain) and have always wanted to write such a novel. I find it intriguing to explore the reasons someone would agree to sell their soul and thanks to some fantastic teachers I was influenced at an early age by the Faustian bargain concept, including stories such as: The Devil and Daniel Webster by Stephen Vincent Benet; The Devil and Tom Walker by Washington Irving; Young Goodman Brown by Nathaniel Hawthorne; the OG, Faust by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe; and my favorite, Something Wicked This Way Comes by Ray Bradbury.
However, what I didn’t want to do was to allow the Faustian bargain to be about greed or power or control. Honestly, I’m a bit of a drama boy and enjoy a good love story (I’ll even go out on a limb here and admit that I’ve read multiple Nicholas Sparks books lol). To me, love is as good a reason to enter a Faustian bargain as any, although the bargain takes on an entirely new meaning when that soul is sold so that someone else can live, breathe, or be successful. Now that’s true love, IMO. This is where romance and romantic nature became an enormous influence.
Specifically, two movies (books too, although that’s a different story) were a large influence on the story. Francis Ford Coppola’s Bram Stoker’s Dracula was one, and The Princess Bride is the other. Additional influences also included: Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, The Witching Hour series by Anne Rice, Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House (also once I realized I was writing a series, the Netflix series was a huge influence) and The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde by Robert Louis Stevenson. You’ll definitely get to experience the Jekyll and Hyde influence in the story.
Allow me to introduce you to the green fairies in a bottle of absinthe, although you’ll see the influences from all the above as you’re reading. Of course, I would be remiss if I didn’t mention Washington Irving’s The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. I grew up in the area and lived in Sleepy Hollow for some time. Obviously, the story and the city had a large influence on the novel.
Although The Sleepy Hollow Incident has nothing to do with the Headless Horseman, Washington Irving himself plays a crucial role in the backstory, which were some of the most fun scenes to write. I found it very existential. Plus, the backstory fits perfectly into the New England Gothic horror subgenre. With the exception that Sleepy Hollow is in New York, not New England (maybe they should call it Northeastern Gothic Horror?) we’ve got all the elements that make the genre spectacular.
Bleak isolated landscapes, dark woods, old houses (mansions in this case), inherited curses, repressed desires, madness, isolation, witches, ghosts, demons, ancient evils intertwined with historical events (thank you Washington Irving), dread, mystery, decay, emotional suppression and characters who are tortured souls confronting ancestral sins and societal horrors. All the significant elements of the subgenre. Or what I refer to as all-encompassing gothic storytelling.
Gothic Horror novels are very often standalones – what inspired you to create a quadrilogy rather than a single book, was this planned from the outset or something that emerged organically from your writing process?
The process emerged organically from the writing process. Keep in mind that each book ends with a cliffhanger, and the following book continues from the cliffhanger. More of a serial than a series, or rather, one massive book to indulge reader appetites for gothic horror wrapped in a suspenseful supernatural crime thriller with a supporting cast that steals the show.
I knew after writing Part II that the story would take some time to unfold. Splitting the story into four books and publishing as a rapid release seemed like a no-brainer from that point on. Plus, being an unknown indie, I didn’t want to scare off new readers with a book that was over 1200 pages. I’m not Stephen King (yet lol).
What made you settle on the winter of 1997 as the setting for the first book in the series? What is it about the late 1990s that lent itself to the story you wanted to tell?
I’m a child of the 90s. I turned 15 y/o in 1990, and honestly, the 90s were outstanding, especially with the grunge movement that came out of nowhere (although it’d been brewing for some time).
I was a punk-rocking, plaid-wearing, mosh-pit-loving grungehead, and I loved it. Then Kurt pulled the trigger, corporate greed took over grunge, and the world entered a state of paranoia with the upcoming new millennium (anyone remember the Y2K insanity?).
The world was on a downward spiral into what we see everyday today. 1997 (or the late 90s) also saw the rise of the internet and cell phones (they were around earlier than 1997 but became mainstream around this time) and Amazon was becoming the global juggernaut it is today (Amazon first went public in 1997).
During that time, I remember thinking how things were undoubtedly changing, although I couldn’t have predicted where we would be now. It’s a completely different world. The Sleepy Hollow Incident is very similar. It starts off with a bang (think Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit premiering on MTV) then turns into its innocence (the awesome grunge era) before being dragged through the fog-drenched turmoil of paranoia, heartache and anguish while holding on for dear life because you have no idea what the future will bring.
Yeah, the 90s seemed like the perfect backdrop for the story, incorporating all the above elements into the narrative to elicit a profound emotional response within the reader.
How does your background as a psychotherapist play into your love of Gothic Horror particularly, and how do you use this training to develop your characters/themes/plots?
I need to turn this question inside out first. My love of gothic horror was there long before I sat in the therapist’s chair. If anything, being a writer (understanding the human condition and being able to read people through observation and interpretation) aided in my success as a therapist (I hope that’s not too strange, but if it is… whatever!).
But to answer your question in more detail, I’ve always seen Gothic horror as psychological horror that bolsters atmosphere to reflect the emotional turmoil of the characters while eliciting an emotional response within the reader.
I use many psychology trainings to develop sound character backgrounds that develop into belief systems for each character. I always ask what each character’s belief system includes.
People react and make choices based on their belief systems. Belief systems are also what keep people blind to alternative suggestions, theories and possibilities. It’s when the truth must be confronted and accepted that genuine change occurs. We either give in and give up or give in and get up at that point.
There’s no two ways about it, but as a writer, torturing my characters with such concepts really is all the fun. Seeing how they respond to adversity and tragedy reflects the heart of each character and the human condition.
From a psychological perspective, why do you think the Gothic is having a resurgence today, and also what is the allure of the Gothic for you personally?
I believe Gothic literature is having a resurgence because people are looking for a story that is as profound as it is entertaining. They crave depth as much as they crave excitement. Intelligence as much as simplicity.
Gothic literature incorporates all the above. I refer to it as brutal, beautiful, and exhilarating. Who wouldn’t want to read such a story? It’s a downright overall satisfying reader experience. Although I can’t speak for everyone, when I read a book, I want everything in it I listed above.
I want an experience that elicits profound emotions, thoughts, and contemplations. I always say that the crux of literature is to put on display the depths of the human condition and the perils of society (entertainment first of course but depth is just as important) and I don’t see any genre out there that does that better than horror (gothic horror specifically).
When people are confronted with pure evil (supernatural or not) how they react is a direct correlation to the human condition. This is the allure of Gothic horror for me personally. The psychological toll the characters endure coupled with atmospheric dread creates one awesomely chilling reader experience.
What has been your favourite reader takeaway from the books so far, and can you share some of your favourite endorsements/reviews/reader comments?
What I love to read most is when readers write about how the writing was so vivid that they could see the scenes playing out in their minds. IMO, if you don’t feel like you’re walking through Sleepy Hollow while reading the book, I did not do my job.
In the story, Sleepy Hollow itself is a character, and it was important to me to present the town with a positive vibe (despite all the carnage and chaos). Also, when readers say that they were hooked from book one and just had to keep reading is a satisfying takeaway. These types of comments and reviews make writing such a project even more satisfying.
I wrote the book as a crime thriller. The fact that the story moves a mile a minute (once Part Two begins and the crime thriller portion of our story escalates), keeping the reader not just engaged but enthralled throughout the entire story was very important to me, so reader comments about the fast pace of the story are quite satisfying.
I’ve also had the privilege of the book being reviewed by a few authors whose opinions I truly respect and take to heart.
Here’s a few:
“Dripping with atmosphere. Bursting with brutality. Humming with magical mystery. The Sleepy Hollow Incident is an alluring, twisted journey of death, desire, and sacrifice.” ~ Felix Blackwell, author of Stolen Tongues.
“A deft blend of gothic vibes, historical fiction, and crime thriller.” ~ Ben Young, author of Home.
“PD Alleva’s The Sleepy Hollow Incident is a mixing pot of terror—a healthy dose of gothic, a dash of demonic, and enough gore and body horror to shock and delight readers!” —Viggy Parr Hampton, author of The Rotting Room
“P. D. Alleva spreads fresh seed on well-trod ground with The Sleepy Hollow Incident. There’s certainly a tip of the hat to the giants of American gothic literature here including ghosts, dark pacts, and tragic romance, on display with ornate prose. Placing the story in the midst of a more modern police procedural puts a unique and voraciously readable spin on the familiar tropes we’ve loved for centuries. By the time you read the last lines you’ll be losing your head for more.” ~ Caleb Jones, author of Red Pill Paradise.
“This book 1 is utterly terrifying! I felt physically tense reading it. The imagery is incredible, you can Feel the Storm rolling in, building and raging. This is honestly the scariest book I have read in years!” ~ Alexandrea Christianson, Author of Zombies Dead Clown Apocalypse
“Dark, brooding, and deeply atmospheric, The Sleepy Hollow Incident is a supernatural gothic tale that sinks its claws in from the first page and doesn’t let go. P.D. Alleva masterfully blends elements of horror and romance, offering readers a chilling look at love and sacrifice.” ~ Kayla Frederick, author of The Residency.

Cover by: Stephen Brown @stephenart.bsky.socialYour latest book, The King’s Raven, completes the duology that started with The Assassin’s Raven. Can readers pick up Book 2 then read Book 1 as a prequel, or do you recommend reading in order of release?
It will need to be read in order of release. Only because a lot of characters and things that happen in the plot fully come together in the end of the first book. The last chapter of The Assassins Raven leads straight on into the first chapter of The King’s Raven. I will however, have a plot summary of The Assassins Raven at the start of The King’s Raven, just in case.
How do you balance the genres of cosy fantasy with horror elements? Would you say this is cosy Dark Fantasy or Fantasy-Horror, and what were your influences for this?
It is hard to balance it out when there is a complex mix of both, and I am never sure which way my books fit best. In this story people or monsters are getting killed, which can be very sombre, but there are other scenes that are very light. I love Horror Comedies, so I think it was definitely influenced watching movies like Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz, Cabin in the Woods. Horrible things are happening, but it can also be kind of funny.
What made you choose an Elf as your main character, and what was your character design/development process for Raven?
I wanted to portray Elves a bit differently and see what happened. I also thought it was interesting to begin a story from the Elves’ perspective and not having any real knowledge of Humans.
I started putting Raven together when I created a scene where Raven has to figure out a way to kill someone at a party amongst lots of people. As soon as I knew how she would do it, her personality, look, temperament, all grew from there.
How did you develop your worldbuilding for the duology – are you a world-first writer, or does it develop organically alongside or after your characters form, or something else?
I am not much of a world builder. The world came after I created my characters, especially when the characters began travelling. That is what started me thinking about their world, what they would see, what animals and people would they meet along the way?
Can you share your favourite line from The King’s Raven out of context, and share a little bit of your writing routine with us?
“Of course they don’t like working down there! It’s a fucking mine!” Replies the King, angrily. (sorry for the swear, but I think it makes the scene funnier).
I like to write in the afternoon, that is when I find myself with some quiet time. I try to write for a couple of hours every day, but sometimes other things get in the way!
What has been your favourite reader response so far?
My favourite response has been from readers telling me they were fully surprised by the ending of The Assassins Raven and piecing it all together.

Book Summary for Book Clubs/Readers:
Welcome to the Hôtel de Neige. Let yourself be swept away by its grandeur and glamor but beware – the cold may swallow you whole.
When lonely waitress Ana lands a job as a singer at the prestigious Hôtel de Neige, she believes it to be the beginning of her fairytale. Yet she soon finds that in those eerie halls, the line between Cinderella story and Gothic nightmare blurs. Sinister dreams cause her to sleepwalk, a ballerina makes ominous threats, and a phantom in white haunts the hotel – and Ana.
When Ana discovers that the hotel’s last singer lost his life under mysterious circumstances, she needs to decide if happily-ever-after is worth it. She knows she cannot trust her secretive colleagues or the charming but elusive hotel manager, Dimitri. All Ana ever wanted was to belong but at the Hôtel de Neige that may mean never leaving again.
Buy from Barnes & Noble Grab A CopyYour debut novella, Once Upon a Song, came out with Quill & Crow in January 2026. Was this the first book you wrote? Can you tell us more about your writing and publishing journey so far?
I have been writing stories basically ever since I could write, mostly fantasy. When I was eleven, I finished my first “book” – it was Warrior Cats fanfiction. Since then, I’ve written five more books, two in German and three in English, but Once Upon A Song is my first published work.
What is your relationship with the Gothic and fairytales, and what inspired you to blend them together?
Fairytales have always inspired my stories. I grew up on Brothers Grimm and Disney movies.
The German versions tend to be much darker and more brutal. Just because a story features romantic ballroom dances doesn’t mean it can’t also feature mutilation. That’s one of the reasons why the connection between fantasy and horror makes so much sense to me.
In Once Upon A Song, that connection happened very naturally. When I wrote the first draft of Once Upon A Song, I didn’t explicitly plan for it to fall into the Gothic genre but the story decided that’s where it wanted to go and with every reiteration, it became a little bit darker.
What gave you the idea to set a Gothic tale based on The Snow Queen X Phantom of the Opera in a hotel, and which versions of the fairytale in particular were you most inspired by? What other influences come into play in this novel?
The initial inspiration came from the musical Anastasia which I got to see live way back in 2019. I left the show with the desire to write something that would capture that same feeling of whimsy and mystery and magic.
That merged with the idea to put a new spin on The Snow Queen, one of Hans Christian Andersen’s most intriguing stories.
The nods to Phantom of the Opera developed subconsciously as I drafted the story. I noticed the parallels later on and decided to embrace and strengthen them. There are a lot of other influences that shaped the book, from the dark beauty of Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak to the romantic extravagance of Bridgerton. Once Upon A Song is very much an amalgamation of all the things I love.
How did the character of Ana develop, and what were your references for her?
Ana’s character was inspired by the character of Anastasia: someone who feels lost in the world and is trying to find her place. In a world that’s more anonymous and lonely every day, it’s a relatable struggle for many people, including myself, which is why I wanted to explore that theme.
Another huge part of Ana’s character is her relationship to music and her ability to find comfort and belonging through her creative pursuit – that’s definitely something I borrowed from my own life.
How did you develop the hotel itself – the sinister, wintry Hôtel de Neige? How did you decide upon a hotel as the equivalent of the Snow Queen’s Ice Palace and were there any real life buildings that inspired your Snow Hotel?
Setting is one of my favorite parts of storytelling. I loved coming up with the Hôtel de Neige and its atmosphere. The decision to set the book in a hotel came very early on in the process. Hotels are places where we can forget our daily life behind for a while; they are magical but only because you know your time there is limited. That’s the perfect backdrop for Once Upon A Song.
The architecture itself was inspired by Strawberry Hill House, the estate of Horace Walpole who wrote the first Gothic novel. It’s a gorgeous building which truly captures the dark spirit of the Gothic genre – even though its exterior is completely white. I love that contrast and it’s something readers will discover in Once Upon A Song: great beauty which hides sinister mysteries.
Lastly – what are you most excited about for readers to discover in this story, and what has been your favourite ARC reader responses so far?
The reaction has been wonderful so far. Most days, I still can’t believe there are people out there reading my book. Nothing makes me happier than hearing from people who curled up with it on a cold day and were immersed by the story and its atmosphere – and surprised by its twists and turns.
