Shaun Hutson

Shaun Hutson is a highly prolific and versatile British author, best known for his work in the horror and crime genres. Hutson has written over thirty novels under his own name, as well as numerous books under various pen names, such as Nick Blake, Tom Lambert, Daniel Graves, Robert Neville, Samuel P. Bishop, Spike T. Adams, Wolf Kruger, Frank Taylor, and Stefan Rostov. He has a particular knack for creating engaging and memorable characters, such as the hard-boiled detective Sean Doyle, who features in a series of crime novels, and the Heathen series, which explores the darker side of human nature.

In addition to his horror and crime novels, Hutson has also written fantasy, science fiction, thriller, and suspense stories. One of his most famous works is the Slugs series, which revolves around a group of mutant slugs that terrorize a small town. The first book in the series was adapted into a movie, although Hutson himself was not particularly fond of the film. Despite this, the book remains a cult classic and has helped to solidify Hutson's reputation as a master of horror.

Hutson is not only a novelist but also a screenwriter and short story writer. He has appeared in a couple of horror films himself, demonstrating his versatility and commitment to the genre. In his spare time, Hutson is a Liverpool F.C. fan, and his love for the city and its football team often shines through in his writing. Despite his many accomplishments, Hutson remains a humble and approachable figure, always eager to engage with his fans and share his passion for storytelling.
