Born in Zambia, Africa, he grew up in places such as Hawaii, England, the Philippines, Thailand and Laos and also spent three years in Milingimbi, in Arnhem Land, Australia. He currently resides in Darwin with his partner Sharon and their baby son Thomas. He divides his time between working in a warehouse for a national beer company, changing nappies and writing.

“The smells ran instantly up my nostrils like some sort of acid vapour, taking my thoughts back several years to the morning we’d rocked up here after discovering Mum’d had that tumour in her chest. Doctors had said her prognosis was good. (Do they tell everyone that?) We’d pulled into the car park and Dad’d commented, ‘Oh well, it’s a nice view of the ocean at least.’ Like that’s all that mattered. Like we were having a snug little holiday by the sea. Like we were going to be enjoying the ocean views and the docks and the rolling coastline over bacon and eggs and buttered chemotherapy every fucking morning.”
A. L. Brooks, Strangeworld: The Mortifera

“I held the mask before me to get another look at it. Those three eye holes seemed to watch me, illuminated from behind by the faint light. It was an eerie effect, as if the face was awakening, returning to life. I had to keep telling myself that it was just a fucking mask, not someone’s face. But it didn’t do much good.”
A. L. Brooks, Strangeworld: The Mortifera

“One thing is certain: she was never seen again. It is presumed Carenza Goon went for a swim, got into trouble and drowned. I guess that could explain her discarded clothes. Her body has never been found.”
A. L. Brooks, Strangeworld: The Mortifera
