Simon R. Green was born in Bradford-on-Avon, Wiltshire, where he now lives after some years in Leicester studying for his MA in Modern English and American Literature; he also studied history and has a combined Humanities degree. After years of rejections, he sold seven novels at once, just two days after he started working at Bilbo's Bookshop in Bath, after three and a half years of unemployment. The following year, he hit the Sunday Times and New York Times bestseller lists with the novelisation of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves, which has sold more than 370,000 copies, and continues to sell. His bestselling novels span fantasy, space opera and horror, and include the Deathstalker, Nightside, Ghost Finders, Secret History and Hawk and Fisher series. He is currently working on a new Deathstalker novel.
A fast, fun little roller-coaster of a story . . . macabre and
thoroughly entertaining
*JIM BUTCHER, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Dresden
Files*
Devotees of edgy urban fantasists Laurell K. Hamilton and Jim
Butcher will eat this one up
*ROMANTIC TIMES*
Great fun . . . I really enjoyed and would recommend to anyone that
likes urban fantasy. There is a hard edge to the book, which I
think enhances the chaos and mayhem
*FANTASY BOOK REVIEW*
Simon Green is known for bringing impossible beings and worlds to
life with his words. His most fantastic series, Nightside, kicks
off with a book that delves readers deeper into their imagination
than they ever thought possible
*THE EXAMINER*
A fast-paced, macabre excursion into an entertaining world of
twisted heroes and rampant weirdness
*LOCUS*
Simon R. Green's Nightside series is a delight from beginning to
end. . . The Nightside books are, unashamedly, all about having a
bloody good time reading works that have more than their fair share
of "ics." Fantastic, comedic, sarcastic, caustic and heroic are
just a few that spring to mind
*SF SITE*
So much fun it's practically irresistible . . . the start of a
series of books that could come to dominate our beach reading for
many a summer to come
*CEMETERY DANCE*
Nobody delivers sharp, crackling dialogue better than Green, and no
one whisks readers away to more terrifying adventures or more
bewildering locales
*BLACK GATE*
A grand tour . . . the set-up and the writing are good enough to
make me hope for more in the series in the near future
*SCIENCE FICTION CHRONICLE*
A fun read, lots of action and some pretty wild character
*BOOKS ‘N’ BYTES*
