About the author

By day, Alexander Verbeek-van den Toren is a child psychologist, but by night, when it's dark outside and all the lights are turned off and everyone's asleep... he's asleep as well.
In between those times, he writes and reads fanatically. He is a big fan of stories that show different cultures, whether they are real or imaginary. Queer stories also get a big leg up with him.

Alexander writes and reads in English and Dutch. In the English language, his debut novel 'Corruption' will be coming out on January 13th, 2026. In the Dutch language, he shows up periodically in short story collections and short story magazines.

Alexander lives with his husband and their dog in Spijkenisse, near Rotterdam, in the Netherlands.

Reviews

[William Tracy · Rating 5 out of 5]

A great story of learning to be who you are and standing up for yourself. The worldbuilding is a key part and leads to a lot of questions about how and why this society came to be. Great bisexual rep in this one!
