A E Moorat

A. E. Moorat is the pseudonym of author Andrew Holmes whose first novel, Sleb, was shortlisted for the 2002 WHSmith New Talent Award in the UK. His other novels are All Fur Coat, 64 Clarke, and Rain Dogs and Love Cats, all of them dark, funny thrillers which were critically well received in the UK, earning him comparisons with Martin Amis and Elmore Leonard, among others. His nonfiction work has been of a collaborative nature and most recently he has worked with New Order and Joy Division bassist Peter Hook on Peter's book The Hacienda: How Not to Run a Club.

Queen Victoria, Demon Hunter marks his return to fiction and his debut in a genre he loves: horror, and currently he is working on a follow-up, provisionally titled Henry VIII, Wolfman, a companion piece insofar as it is set in the same world and features the same mythology. He lives in the English countryside with his wife and two children.
