About the author: Haydn Wilks was born in Caerphilly in 1987. After graduating from King's College London, he worked a succession of call centre and sales jobs before moving to Seoul, South Korea. His writing mixes the local and the global, throwing together a wide range of characters from across the inter-connected modern world. It features moments of comedy, often dark, alongside sudden violent outbursts. Influences include Tarantino movies, Twin Town, Chuck Palahniuk, Bret Easton Ellis, Murakami, Kerouac, Dostoevsky & Joyce. Music features heavily in his work, from Manic Street Preachers, Exit International & the explosive Welsh underground scene, to northern indie like The Smiths, Joy Division & Arctic Monkeys, along with hip-hop, house, dubstep, '80s pop, K-pop, etc., etc.
'The Death of Danny Daggers', his debut novel, throws these influences into a cocktail with a high alcohol content, a few spoonfuls of ketamine & M-Kat, and a big dollop of good old-fashioned ultraviolence.Americosis' is a genre-bending mash-up of sci-fi, horror, thriller & dark comedy. It might all be madness. It might be the apocalypse.
