Andrew Fox was born in Miami Beach in 1964. He has been a fan of science fiction and horror since he saw Godzilla and friends romp through Destroy All Monsters at the drive-in theater at the age of three. In 1994, he joined award-winning science fiction author George Alec Effinger's monthly writing workshop group in New Orleans, where Andrew lived for more than two decades. Since 2009, he has lived in Northern Virginia with his wife and three boys, where he works for a federal law enforcement agency.
His first novel, Fat White Vampire Blues, published by Ballantine Books in 2003, was widely described as "Anne Rice meets A Confederacy of Dunces." It won the Ruthven Award for Best Vampire Fiction of 2003. Its sequel, Bride of the Fat White Vampire, was published in 2004. His third novel, The Good Humor Man, or, Calorie 3501, was published by Tachyon Publications in April, 2009. It was selected by Booklist as one of the Ten Best SF/Fantasy Novels of the Year and was first runner up for the Darrell Award, presented for best SF or fantasy novel written by a Mid-South author or set in the Mid-South. In 2006, he was one of the three winners of the Moment Magazine-Karma Foundation Short Fiction Award.
Andrew is an outspoken advocate for freedom of speech and thought in science fiction. MonstraCity Press is publishing two volumes of short fiction that, in the tradition of Harlan Ellison's groundbreaking anthologies Dangerous Visions and Again, Dangerous Visions, push the boundaries of what is considered taboo in science fiction. The first volume, Hazardous Imaginings: The Mondo Book of Politically Incorrect Science Fiction, includes two of Andrew's short novels and three of his stories. The second volume, Again, Hazardous Imaginings, features 14 stories by writers from all over the world. Science fiction is not a safe space!
MonstraCity Press has published Fire on Iron (Book One of Midnight's Inferno: the August Micholson Chronicles), a steampunk dark fantasy novel set aboard ironclad gunboats during the Civil War, and will publish the second book in the series, Hellfire and Damnation, in 2021. MonstraCity Press has also published the third book in the Fat White Vampire series, Fat White Vampire Otaku, and will publish the fourth book in the series, Hunt the Fat White Vampire, and the fifth book, Curse of the Fat White Vampire, both in 2021. Other projects forthcoming from this publisher in 2021 include The Bad Luck Spirits' Soc...

Serie
volume One
|
Twins Andrew and Anthony Beveridge were born into a world of pain, abuse and neglect. Given up at birth and abandoned by their mother, they spend their formative years, in two separate Catholic work sites disguised as Orphanages.
At the mercy of paedophiles and child slavers and allocated a number instead of a name they are merely a commodity!
Scarred and deeply traumatized the boys learn to fit in and use the rules and facilities to suite. This is an account of ice cold vengeance and ritualistic murder, systematically enacted upon those guilty of possibly the worst crime against children. Sexual abuse and slavery!
They are sworn to slice through the nefarious echelons of eminence and power and punish those responsible for these heinous crimes against vulnerable, defenseless children.
The twins set out upon a bloodcurdling and unremitting manhunt throughout Britain and Europe to destroy those who trade, in child sex and slavery!
Ghost reverberates through Scottish society causing panic and fear. Two relentless killers are on the loose, preying upon those responsible for the monstrous trade in human lives. Anyone perceived as a threat to the successful conclusion of their goal is killed!
The killers sanitise the scenes of their crimes and leave the Metropolitan Police at a loss for answers.
Detective Chief Inspector Robert Ross Detective in charge falters and a specialist from his past comes to his aid.
The Ghost is finally identified because of an impetuous mistake leaving DNA evidence at one of the scenes of murder. In the sting operation that follows the Ghost is shot and killed.
As yet the Police are unaware of the existence of a second Ghost.
Bound to a pact with his brother, the second Ghost vows to continue their task till the bitter end, no matter the consequences. Knowing the terrible danger he faces, he nonetheless attacks the Catholic Curate for Glasgow East in his own home and brutally kills the Policeman who is involved with the organization.
Tranquillised, incapacitated, Andrew Beveridge is taken by the Police.
Unbeknownst of her existence, a secret admirer comes to his aid and once again Ross is foiled. The Ghost flees the country and picks up the trail in the Czech Republic and then Germany in a bloody finale to this merciless manhunt!
While Ross sits in a pub in Hannover, Andrew and June make plans to complete brother Anthony’s plan. Andrew assassinates the Catholic Protector and brings the vendetta to an end.
Meantime, Ross having made up his mind, intercepts the dynamic duo of June and Andrew at the airport moments before they leave Europe and paves the way for their escape from Germany and Europe. Thus ends part one of this trilogy.
