Alistair B. Hayward is the author of gleefully graphic, gripping and disturbing serial killer horror books that will leave you unsettled and shaken. In real life, however, he's very nice indeed. When not exploring the beautiful outdoors and plotting the terrible things that will befall his characters, he's a big fan of death metal, 70s paperbacks, 80s slasher films and the stories of Stephen King, Bret Easton Ellis, Bryce Courtney and James Patterson. He lives in Auckland, New Zealand with his family. He'd love you to tell him how disturbed you were by his book.
