About the Author

He is considered by critics to be a literary maverick, a classic writer and a masterful stylist. He is also an avid collector of vintage typewriters. He won a European Literature Prize for The Guard, and the AKO Literatuurprijs for Post Mortem.
Review
'webs of Pinteresque paranoia ... Effectively horrid' Sunday Telegraph. * Sunday Telegraph * 'This masterly surrealist study of contemporary society, by a Flemish original, is worthy of the great JG Ballard' Irish Times. * Irish Times * 'There's a cold and beautiful precision to Peter Terrin's writing, and a remorselessness and finally terrifying accretion of detail that begins by seeming fussy and ends by being unsettling' SFX. * SFX * 'The Guard is so good, its world so minutely described and Michel so undeniably compelling that to suggest anything other than to pick this up and read it immediately would be to do it a disservice' SciFi Now. * SciFi Now * 'Terrin wastes no time sucking the audience into the narrative ... you simply won't want to put the book down until you find out exactly what's going on' Starburst Magazine. * Starburst Magazine * 'a tremendous novel, often horrifically funny and always unsettling' Irish Times. * Irish Times * 'a rich and gripping mix of all the ingredients that make for a truly haunting atmosphere' Writers' Hub. * Writers' Hub * 'A mix of psychological thriller and SF fable, this strange, wonderfully claustrophobic novel' Guardian. * Guardian *
