Neil C. Cladingboel

Born in the United Kingdom and moving to Australia as a child, Neil dabbled with creative writing and contemporary poetry for many years. Publishing Reflections, book one of The Erebus Equilibrium series, in November 2000, was the realization of a life-long dream.

Neil has since published The Anvil Amulet and Wraith Tide, books two and three of the Erebus series, Tale Spin (a collection of short fiction), and various other short stories.

In 2005, Neil published Bortag's Curse, a companion novel to the original trilogy. Beloved Sons, the long-awaited conclusion to the Erebus series, was released in 2013.

Neil remained a member of the Australasian Horror Writers Association until his retirement in 2026, was the founder of Equilibrium Books (now closed), and was the editor of FlashSpec Anthology (2006-2007). He has also contributed stories, articles and reviews to numerous web sites and e-zines.
