Terry Oakes was born - and still lives - in Merthyr Tydfil, a post-industrial town in South Wales. Better known, for over two decades, as a book jacket and album cover illustrator - his work adorning novels ranging from the modern horror of Stephen King to the majestic sci-fi epics of Frank Herbert, alongside artwork for music recordings by artists as diverse as prog-rockers, Hawkwind, and punk performers, The Exploited - this is his second venture into self-expression via the written word, explored not only through the more conventional avenue of prose, but also through the lyricism of verse. Previous work: The Murder Men: a violent novel set in the world of organised crime. See less
