Henk Wester was born in a farm town in South Africa. He started writing at the age of seven and hasn't stopped since. Wester specializes in horror, extreme horror, and sci-fi. Due to the dark nature of his work, his stories were more often than not met with scorn and disapproval from classmates, family, and friends while he grew up. However, that didn't and still doesn't stop him from churning out works of fiction that disturbs, disgusts, and scares, but also makes you think. Underneath Wester's stories, there often belies a deeper meaning and commentary on profound topics. Besides writing, reading, cartoons, and horror movies, Henk also loves nature, animals, silence (so that he can hear himself loud enough in his head), and sleeping. Furthermore, he enjoys hearing from readers and can be found on Facebook.
