The Shining. In a nuclear submarine. On the edge of the continental shelf at the height of the Cold War, with occasional reference to cats. You can’t make this shit up. Fortunately, Benedict Anning can. And he does a damn good job of it. * PETER WATTS, author of Blindsight *

Benedict Anning is a Surrey-born author and short fiction writer living just outside of Edinburgh with his wonderful cat, Penny. After a stint in creative studies at sixth form, independent exams, and later Ancient History at university, Ben spent three years as a bookseller before moving to the third sector where he now works for a local animal shelter. An artist at heart and fan of all things eerie, Ben has a special love for twisty horror fiction where the setting is a principal character and things just aren’t quite right. Atomic Coffin is his first published novel.
