Bio:I. E. Lester

I.E. Lester is a lifelong fan of science fiction and horror. A school trip to a Jacobean Mansion complete with spooky tales of ghostly inhabitants launched a fascination with supernatural horror, although not a belief in the reality (he is still a strong sceptic). A washed-out family holiday confirmed his fate when the cover of an Isaac Asimov collection attracted a nine-year-old eye.

He has spent the subsequent three decades amassing a large library featuring the works of King, Bradbury, Heinlein, Clarke, Lovecraft, Poe and many, many others.

He studied Mathematics and Astrophysics whilst at University and works as a software designer. When not reading sf, horror, history or factual science, he can often be found watching cricket or rugby, or wandering medieval streets in France or Italy.
