Member SinceMay 2011
A British
"fantastic fiction" writer. He is fond of describing his work as
"weird fiction" (after early 20th century pulp and horror writers
such as H. P. Lovecraft), and belongs to a loose group of writers sometimes
called New Weird who consciously attempt to move fantasy away from commercial,
genre clichés of Tolkien epigons. He is also active in left-wing politics as a
member of the Socialist Workers Party. He has stood for the House of Commons
for the Socialist Alliance, and published a book on Marxism and international
law.
