Lee Battersby was born in Nottingham in 1970, departing from a snow-covered city in 1975 directly to a town on the edge of Australia’s largest desert. He’s only just now beginning to recover from the culture shock. He doesn’t like to take credit for it, but there’s nothing to suggest that Angry Robot would have set up shop in town only a mere thirty-odd years later had he stayed. Lee is the author of over seventy stories in Australia, the US, and Europe, with appearances in markets as “Year’s Best Fantasy & Horror,” “Year’s Best Australian SF & F,” and “Writers of the Future.” He’s taught at Clarion South and developed and delivered a six-week “Writing the SF Short Story” course for the Australian Writers Marketplace. His work has been praised for its consistent attention to voice and narrative muscle, and has resulted in a number of awards including the Aurealis, Australia Shadows, and Australia Sf ‘Ditmar’ gongs.
"A stunning debut novel, well-crafted and grotesquely inventive. With its madcap story, unforgettable characters and fine balance between humour and pathos, The Corpse-Rat King ticks all the boxes. Fans of Joe Abercrombie will love this." - Juliet Marillier, award-winning author of the Sevenwaters series and Bridei's Chronicles
