Sebastian Niedlich

Sebastian Niedlich was born a long time ago, 1975, in the most western part of the then divided Berlin. Strangely enough he had no writing talent to speak of at the time of his birth. That later changed after he learned to read and write. He dabbled in comics, movie scripts at lastly settled on novels.

His novel debut "Death And Other Highlights Of My Life" (German: "Der Tod und andere Höhepunkte meines Lebens") was released in late 2013 and became a bestseller, finding itself on several Top-10-lists of websites talking about their favorite novels of the year. He followed that up with the book "And God said: Let There Be Jonas" (German: "Und Gott sprach: Es werde Jonas"), the novel "Passing fat devil into loving hands for the sake of inconvenience" (German: "Dicker Teufel umständehalber in liebevolle Hände abzugeben". Man, those Google translations are wild.) and several short stories that got collected into the book "At the end of the world there's coffee and cake" (German: "Am Ende der Welt gibt es Kaffee und Kuchen").

In November 2018 the long awaited sequel to "Death And Other Highlights Of My Life" was released, called "Death Is Hard To Survive" (German: "Der Tod ist schwer zu überleben"). A year later followed a book about the two family cats, Simon and her sister Garfunkel, called "For tweats we'd die" (German: "Für Leckerlis könnten wir ster'm", wrong spelling fully intended). In 2020 he published a series of books called "Columbus still hasn't found India" (German: "Kolumbus hat Indien immer noch nicht gefunden"), which show what happened in history on each day of the year. In 2022 followed "Drunk Moose And Bought Popes", a collection of stories regarding strange things that happened in history.

In March of 2024 his newest novel "Otto In The Underworld" came out.
