Benedict Anning is a Surrey-born author and short fiction writer living just outside of Edinburgh with his wonderful cat, Penny. After a stint in creative studies at sixth form, independent exams, and later Ancient History at university, Ben spent three years as a bookseller before moving to the third sector where he now works for a local animal shelter. An artist at heart and fan of all things eerie, Ben has a special love for twisty horror fiction where the setting is a principal character and things just aren't quite right. Atomic Coffin is his first published novel.
