M. R. Carey is a pen name for an established British writer.
Mike Carey got into writing through comic books, where his horror/fantasy series Lucifer garnered numerous international awards and was nominated for five Eisners. From there he moved into novels and screenplays, while still maintaining a presence in the comics world (he is currently writing two of Marvel's flagship titles, X-Men and Ultimate Fantastic Four). His movie Frost Flowers, an erotic ghost story, is currently in production with Hadaly/Bluestar Pictures. He lives in London, England, about as far as you can get from the centre of the city and still have access to the London Underground train network. His wife, Linda, writes fantasy for young readers under the pseudonym A.J. Lake. They have three children and an implausibly beautiful cat.

M R Carey recommends

Automatic Noodle (2025)
Annalee Newitz
"The characters and their dilemmas are so vivid and believable. I choked up more than once and I cheered. Lovely stuff! A cool, joyous post-apocalyptic fable for our divided times."

Overgrowth (2025)
Mira Grant
"I've never read anything like this. Overgrowth is poignant, beautiful and terrifying by turns. Grant has written a first contact story that captures the wonder of encountering something truly alien-and the horror of learning how much of the alien is already inside us. A unique and utterly addictive read, from the first green shoots to the final harvest."
