Bond, Sandra
Entry updated 29 January 2024. Tagged: Author.
(1969- ) UK author, fan and poet active in Fandom since the late 1980s, initially producing Fanzines as Harry Bond and later becoming a scholar of fan history. She began to publish work of professional genre interest with "Electric Midnight" in Pioneers & Pathfinders (anth 2019) edited by Jessica Augustsson. Her first novel was The Psychopath Club (2021), a dark comedy whose engaging teenage protagonist plans to vary the monotony of small-town US existence by becoming a serial killer, but whose life is changed after brain injury in a car crash. He now slips involuntarily though temporarily into Parallel-World versions of present-day Earth, beginning with an Alternate History in which he had died and as a "ghost" presence causes consternation. Complications then multiply, including visits by similarly gifted otherworld instances of himself; all ends perplexedly. The Devil's Finger (2023) is a supernatural thriller featuring a Shapeshifter, again with much black Humour and escalating shenanigans. Further novels are anticipated. [DRL]
