Alison Moore’s first novel, The Lighthouse, was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize and the National Book Awards (New Writer of the Year), winning the McKitterick Prize. Both The Lighthouse and her second novel, He Wants, were Observer Books of the Year. Reviews of her third novel, Death and the Seaside, referred to her as the “talented creator of a new English grotesque” (Isabel Berwick, The Financial Times) and as “one of the most gifted and interesting writers of weird fiction in Britain today” (Nina Allan, The Spider’s House). Her fourth novel, Missing, is out now. Her short fiction has been included in Best British Short Stories and Best British Horror anthologies, broadcast on BBC Radio 4 Extra and collected in The Pre-War House and Other Stories, whose title story won a novella prize. Her first book for children, Sunny and the Ghosts, will be published in 2019. Born in Manchester in 1971, Alison lives in a village on the Leicestershire-Nottinghamshire border with her husband and son and is an honorary lecturer in the School of English at the University of Nottingham.
Bracken MacLeod has worked as a martial arts teacher, a university philosophy instructor, for a children’s non-profit organisation, and as a trial attorney. He is the author of a collection of short fiction titled 13 Views of the Suicide Woods and the novels Mountain Home, Come to Dust and Stranded, which was a finalist for the Bram Stoker Award. He lives outside of Boston with his wife and son, where he is at work on his next novel.
