John Shirley
The gritty, bleak, and lyrically written work of John Shirley comprises many genres, including cyberpunk, fantasy, and horror, but his stories share an interest in the darker elements of the human soul and our world. He vividly creates atmospheres of urban decay, drug abuse, and desperation, though within settings anything can (and often will) happen: humans transform into mosquitos, gangs take over hurricane-ravaged cities, and globalization devolves into multinational fascism.
