He has also written short stories and non-fiction for a number of publications over the years, with articles appearing in the likes of The New Statesman, Le Monde and La Repubblica. He edits the fiction fanzine Verbal and lives in London.
"In its ambition and exuberance, Human Punk is a league ahead of much contemporary English fiction" New Statesman "King's eye for detail is as sharp as his characters' tongues, and his creations are eminently three-dimensional: insightful and funny one minute, bigoted and ******-up the next" The Face "Unique and brutal fiction...King is a master of idiom and street slang" The Times "King's most accomplished and compelling story to date" Esquire "Evokes the punk era superbly" Independent on Sunday
