Storm Constantine

Salford, Reino Unido, 1956 – 2021.

Autora de ciencia ficción y fantasía, conocida mayormente por su saga Wraeththu. Empezó a inventar historias desde muy joven, inspirada por mitos de la antigua Grecia, Egipto y el Tarot. El ocultismo y la mitología siempre serían una fuente de inspiración para ella. Su primera novela, The Enchantments of Flesh and Spirit, recibió una nominación al Premio Lambda Literary. Su trabajo fue nominado al Premio British Science Fiction, al Premio British Fantasy, al Premio Locus y al Premio Otherwise.

Sus obras brillaron por el tratamiento rompedor que daba a los conceptos de género y sexualidad, y por el gran trato que daba a las relaciones entre personajes. También fue una autora que abrazó la fanficción, animando a sus fans a escribir fanfics de sus historias y enviarlos a las antologías que publicaba.

Además de su trabajo como escritora, fundó una editorial independiente en 2003, Immanion Press, en la que reeditó sus libros, y se implicó en casi todas sus funciones, llegando a ilustrar algunas publicaciones. También fue manager de varios grupos de rock.
