Brian Craddock

Genres
Australia, Queensland, Brisbane

Brian Craddock began his artistic career as a touring puppeteer before moving onto underground comics as both writer and illustrator, then dabbling at documentary film-making before finally working as special effects makeup artist for film and theatre (Disney’s The Lion King musical was the feather in his cap from that exploration). All throughout these ventures he was always writing, but it is only in recent years that the fruits of those labours have seen earnest yield.

He has travelled throughout Pakistan and Indonesia, and both those countries have much bearing upon his fiction. Comedy and horror are his go-to genres, although he is currently completing a novel of speculative fiction about his time spent in Australia’s Goth subculture.
