Nick Setchfield is a writer, editor and entertainment journalist whose work has appeared in SFX and Total Film, two of the UK's leading movie and TV titles. He's also been a film reviewer for the BBC and a scriptwriter for ITV's Spitting Image. Over a 20 year career he's interviewed untold actors, writers and directors, along with assorted Jedi, superheroes, starship captains, diabolical masterminds and the occasional quotable Dalek.
The War in the Dark is his first novel. Combining a lifelong love of spy thrillers, international adventure and occult weirdness, it begins the adventures of Christopher Winter, a British Intelligence agent battling demonic forces in the Cold War of the 1960s. The Spider Dance is set to continue Winter's story.
The War in the Dark was longlisted for the 2018 Bram Stoker Award for Superior Achievement in a First Novel.
