Christopher Fowler ist ein renommierter englischer Autor, der für seine Thriller, Horror, Mystery und Satire gefeiert wird. Bekannt ist er vor allem für seine Bryant and May-Reihe, die von Kritikern und Publikum gleichermaßen gut aufgenommen wurde. Mehrere seiner Romane waren Bestseller und wurden von bedeutenden Hollywood-Persönlichkeiten wie Guillermo Del Toro und Jude Law optioniert.
Geboren 1953, entwickelte Fowler bereits in jungen Jahren ein großes Interesse an Kriminalliteratur, insbesondere an der Stadt London. Er hat sich zu einem der etabliertesten britischen Thrillerautoren entwickelt, der für seine düstere Urban Fiction und sein tiefes Verständnis für die Londoner Unterwelt bekannt ist. Fowlers Werke zeichnen sich häufig durch die Anatomie verschiedener Londoner Gangs aus und spiegeln seine umfangreiche Recherche und Vertrautheit mit der kriminellen Landschaft der Stadt wider.
Fowler ist ein produktiver Autor, der 45 Romane und Kurzgeschichtensammlungen verfasst hat, darunter "Roofworld", "Spanky", "Psychoville", "Calabash" und zwei Memoirenbände, "Paperboy" und "Film Freak". Seine Werke sind bekannt für ihre Mischung aus schwarzem Humor, Angst und sozialer Satire. Er hat zahlreiche Auszeichnungen für sein Schreiben erhalten, darunter den BFS Best Short Story of the Year 1998 für "Wageslaves" und den CWA People's Choice Award 2004 für "The Water Room". Seine Novelle "Breathe" gewann 2005 den BFS Best Novella Award.
Fowler wurde in Greenwich, London, geboren und lebt nach Aufenthalten in den USA und Frankreich nun in Londons King's Cross und Barcelona. Er hatte eine vielseitige Karriere, in der er für BBC-Radio Komödie und Drama schrieb, Drehbücher, Features und Kolumnen für nationale Zeitungen, Graphic Novels, Stücke und Videospiele verfasste. Seine Kurzgeschichte "The Master Builder" wurde in den Film "Through The Eyes Of A Killer" adaptiert. Er hatte auch die Gelegenheit, mehrere Kindheitsfantasien zu erfüllen, wie zum Beispiel die Veröffentlichung eines Weihnachtspop-Singles, das Erscheinen als männliches Model, das Schreiben eines Bühnenstücks und die Teilnahme an einem Batman-Comic.
