About Ed Crocker

Ed was born in Manchester and has managed to stay there ever since. He studied Law at Oxford University, then bounced around careers, including training as a journalist and teaching secondary school English, before becoming a freelance book editor. This allows him to spend time on his first love: sitting at home on his laptop writing horror and fantasy stories.
 

He is currently writing an epic fantasy trilogy, The Everlands, set in a dystopian world of immortals: vampires, werewolves and sorcerers - but no humans. It's being published in North America by St Martin's Press, and also being published in Italy, France, the Czech Republic and Hungary. The First Book, Lightfall, is available now in North America.

​

As a book editor, he works with clients including Sunday Times Bestselling authors, award-winning indie authors, acclaimed UK dark fiction press Ghost Orchid and Grimdark Magazine.

 

He's also a keen book reviewer, writing SFF and horror reviews for FanFiAddict.com and Grimdark Magazine. You can also subscribe to his Substack newsletter GET CROCKED, where as well as author news you get an extensive SFF & horror news and release round up every month as well as a monthly short story, a giveaway and publishing articles.

​

His other interests range from horror films, football, politics, graphic novels, murder mystery and all things fantasy. He’s also a keen video gamer, and gets a bit ranty when people ask him if that’s childish. He’s currently learning Italian. Slowly.
