Steven Savile has spent the last few years working very hard at becoming an overnight success. He is the author of the Von Carstein Vampire trilogy (Inheritance, Dominion, Retribution) set in Games Workshop's popular Warhammer world, and has re-imagined the bloodthirsty Celtic barbarian Slaine from 2000 AD in a new duology of novels for Black Flame (The Exile, The Defiler). He has also written for Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and four incarnations of The Doctor. Steven also has other Thera stories coming soon; The Song Her Heart Sang, forthcoming in the Solaris Book of Fantasy, and a collection, The Machineries of Silence and Other Stories, on its way in early 2008.

Steven has edited a number of critically acclaimed anthologies, including Elemental (with Alethea Kontis ), Redbrick Eden, and Doctor Who Short Trips: Destination Prague. He also compiled (with John Pelan) Smoke Ghost & Other Apparitions and Black Gondolier and Other Stories, the collected horror stories of Fritz Leiber.

Steven's original novels and short story collections include: Temple: Incarnations, Laughing Boy's Shadow, Houdini's Last Illusion, Angel Road, and the graphic novel Fragrance of You (with artist Robert Sammelin). His work can also be found in the Stoker-nominated Aegri Somnia, Poe's Progeny, Horrorworld's 2005 Eulogies, and Writers Digest's classic On Writing Horror. He was a runner up in the 2000 British Fantasy Awards, a winner of a 2002 Writers of the Future Award, and has been nominated for the inaugural 2006 Scribe Award for best novel adaptation for his novel Slaine: The Exile.
