Mario C.

Narrative Writer

Mário Coelho is a narrative writer from Portugal whose work leans into weird fantasy, horror, melancholic sci-fi, and the beautifully unsettling corners of speculative fiction. His fiction has appeared in publications including Strange Horizons and Pseudopod, and his voice brings a sharp, strange, character-driven edge to Ascended’s worldbuilding. At Ascended, Mário helps shape the darker, stranger, and more emotionally charged pieces of Arcadia’s story.
