Robert S PorterRobert Porter is a British author whose fiction explores what happens to ordinary people when the world around them stops playing by ordinary rules.His debut novel, The Repercussion, introduced his interest in consequence, human behaviour and the choces people make when circumstances begin to close in around them. His second novel, A Field Guide to the Undead and Other Things That Want to Eat Me, takes those ideas into much darker territory, combining post-apocalyptic horror with survival, humour, loss and the complicated bond between a father and daughter.Porter's writing places character at the centre of the story. Monsters may provide the danger, but people-their loyalties, fears, mistakes, sacrifices and relationships-provide its heart. His fiction often asks a deceptively simple question: when everything familiar is stripped away, what kind of person are you going to be?Away from writing, Porter has spent much of his professional life in operational management, where leadership, risk, responsibility and the consequences of difficult decisions are part of everyday life. That experience informs the practical, grounded approach to danger and survival that runs through his fiction.The Repercussion was Robert Porter's first novel. A Field Guide to the Undead and Other Things That Want to Eat Me is his second. Read More Read Less
