edit data

Steph Bennion is a writer and musician, born and bred in the Black Country but now living in Hastings, England. Her science-fiction stories are written as a reaction to the dearth of alternative heroes amidst bookshelves swamped by tales of the supernatural. For every aspiring vampire or wizard, the world needs an astrophysicist, an engineer, or at the very least someone who can make the trains run on time.

Hmm... This made for an interesting (if gruesome) tale until the big reveal at the end, which I didn't care for at all. Very lazy trope. On the other hand, I like his later books and love his sci-fi stuff, so I recommend you read those instead. ...more
