Author Biography

Ben Slythe has a scientific background but doesn't have the temperament to be a real scientist. While working as a computer consultant he started to write, first for the screen, then for print. His interests are in the horror, science-fiction and thriller areas, not necessarily in that order, and he has a real love of imaginative creativity, whatever the medium. Ben lives in Faversham, a lovely and historic town close to Canterbury. He can usually be found in the corner of some local establishment that serves either coffee or beer, with a laptop, a notebook and an expression of suffering on his face.
