Drawing inspiration from technology, philosophy, and the art of world-building, Ben Luxon crafts immersive science fiction stories that challenge perspectives and ignite the imagination.
His debut collection, Sunset in the East, is a mind-bending anthology of sci-fi short stories blending psychological thrillers with dark humour and absurdism. Described by readers as reminiscent of Black Mirror and the best stylings of Lovecraft, it's available now on Amazon for Kindle and paperback, and free with Kindle Unlimited.
Ben writes about the things that fascinate him most: the strange relationship between humans and technology, the philosophical questions that underpin our decisions, and the endlessly entertaining absurdity of human nature played out against strange backdrops.
Alongside his fiction, Ben runs a writer's blog sharing the hard-won lessons of the writing process — from first draft to self-publishing. Whether you're just starting out or putting the finishing touches on your manuscript, he writes with honesty about what it actually takes to finish a book.
