Mark Chadbourn is an English fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, and horror author with more than a dozen novels (and one non-fiction book) published around the world. Born in the English Midlands from a long line of coal miners. he gained a degree in Economic History〔 and went on to become a journalist, working for some of Britain's leading newspapers and magazines including ''The Times'',〔 The Independent, and Marie Claire.〔 His writing career began in 1990 when his first published short story ''Six Dead Boys in a Very Dark World'' won Fear magazine's Best New Author award. It attracted the attention of agents and publishers. Six of his novels have been shortlisted for the British Fantasy Society's August Derleth Award for Best Novel, and he has won the British Fantasy Award twice, for his novella ''The Fairy Feller's Master-Stroke''(2003), and for his short story ''Whisper Lane''(2007).〔(The British Fantasy Society - The BFS Awards 2008 )〕 His novel ''Jack of Ravens'' was published in the UK on 20 July 2006.

The final book in the trilogy, Destroyer of Worlds, has been published in July 2009. The earlier books include two series, ''The Age of Misrule'' and ''The Dark Age''. Mark has been described as 'a contemporary bard - a post-industrial Taliesin whose visionary novels are crammed with remixed mythologies, oneiric set pieces, potent symbols, unsettling imagery and an engaging fusion of genre elements. The author's ambition is sustained by his invention: his work is distinguished by breakneck but brilliantly controlled plots, meticulous research, deft characterisation and a crisp, accessible prose style.'〔 He also writes historical novels under the pseudonym "James Wilde". In addition to his novels he also is a scriptwriter for the BBC drama Doctors.〔 In 2014, he announced on his website that his contemporary thriller TV series, "Shadow State" had been optioned by Clerkenwell Films. ==Works== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mark Chadbourn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
