David Hambling

David Hambling is an author and science journalist writing for New Scientist magazine, WIRED and The Guardian, as well as the more eclectic Fortean Times, ‘the journal of unexplained phenomena’. In 2001 he ignored all warnings and passed over the river to live in Norwood, South London. Initially unimpressed by its suburban facade, he was gradually intoxicated by the area’s miasma of exotic history.  As an admirer of an earlier science writer, H. P. Lovecraft, he set about weaving a series of weird science fiction stories around his locale. His wife and cat are tolerant of this eccentricity.
