About the Authors

Lacuna and Other Trips features three stories adapted from the televised episodes written by Tom de Ville, and three original tales of terror which inhabit the same dark corners of the City.

Novelising the television stories are four of the leading lights in British small press horror fiction:

Steve Lockley and Paul Lewis edited a series of anthologies called Cold Cuts in the nineties, and in 2000 saw their debut novel The Ragchild published by Razorblade Press

Paul Finch is an ex-policeman and journalist who now, among other things, writes for The Bill on television, and who has made a name for himself through his finely crafted short fiction.

Debbie Bennett has won much praise for her work, and has been involved in editing and publishing books and magazines for the British Fantasy Society for many years.

Supplying the original fiction are three of the finest British horror authors working today:

Christopher Fowler's work has been widely praised for its realism and gritty urban locations. His novels include the acclaimed Spanky, as well as Disturbia and Soho Black. He is a prolific and popular short story writer with numerous collections to his name.

Graham Masterton is the author of over seventy five novels, including many groundbreaking horror stories and thrillers. His work includes The Manitou, Chosen Child, The Sleepless, Rich, Maiden Voyage as well as five collections of short stories, including the British and World Fantasy Award shortlisted collection Manitou Man. Several of his short stories have been adapted for television.

Simon Clark is widely considered to be one of the most collectible and exciting horror authors to emerge in the nineties. His novels include The Fall, King Blood, Judas Tree and Night of the Triffids, a sequel to John Wyndham's Day of the Triffids.
