(1981-    ) Pakistan-born doctor and author, sometimes resident in US in his medical role, who began to publish work of genre interest with "The Crimson Storm" in Thirteen Stories for June 2003. He continues to concentrate mostly on shorter forms, though the ambitious The Pauper Prince and the Eucalyptus Jinn (22 April 2015 Tor.com; 2015 ebook) is of novella length, and engages in Equipoisal juxtapositions of fantasy and folklore, while movingly fixed to the complexities of the world as experienced by those who emigrate across the globe. Midnight Doorways: Fables from Pakistan (coll 2021; rev vt Midnight Doorways: Stories 2022) won a World Fantasy Award as best collection.

Malik has been involved since its 2017 founding in the Salam Award for Imaginative Fiction, and in the associated 2023 writers' workshop. [JC]
