Mark Chadbourn is a British fantasy, science fiction and horror author with eleven novels (and one non-fiction book) published around the world.
Five of his novels have been shortlisted for the August Derleth Award for Best Novel, and he won the British Fantasy Society Award for his novella The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke.
His new novel Jack of Ravens was published in the UK on July 20 2006. It is the first in a new sequence called Kingdom of the Serpent.
The earlier books include two series, The Age of Misrule and The Dark Age.
Mark has been described as 'a contemporary bard - a post-industrial Taliesin whose visionary novels are crammed with remixed mythologies, oneiric set pieces, potent symbols, unsettling imagery and an engaging fusion of genre elements. The author's ambition is sustained by his invention: his work is distinguished by breakneck but brilliantly controlled plots, meticulous research, deft characterisation and a crisp, accessible prose style.'[1]
