More About the Author

Richard Calder was born in 1956, in Whitechapel, London. In the mid seventies he read English Literature at the University of Sussex. After graduating he travelled extensively throughout South-East Asia and Australia and, upon returning to the UK, subsequently worked in bookselling, independent television and the American Embassy's press office. He became a full-time author in 1990 after moving from London to Nongkhai, Thailand, a border town overlooking Laos. In 1998 he moved to the Philippines, where he lived for some years in Baguio City. After returning to London, he currently resides in another 'East' -- his native East End.

His novels include the 'Dead' trilogy (Dead Girls, Dead Boys, Dead Things), Cythera, Frenzetta, The Twist, Malignos, Impakto, Lord Soho, and Babylon.

He is currently adapting his novel Dead Girls into a graphic novel, to be illustrated by Filipino artist Leonardo M Giron. The graphic novel will be serialised in the quarterly magazine Murky Depths, beginning with issue #9.

This review is from: Malignos (Paperback)

Journey to the centre of the altered earth.


Altered as in people, in this case. A long time ago some people were altered into non-human form, a war was fought, the altered lost and now live underground.

The protagonist of the piece is a down on his luck human soldier who is not a bigot by any means. Altered women are ok by him.

He, of course, ends up on a dangerous trip into this realm of demonic looking people - the title being their name for themselves.
