Robert Rankin (full name Robert Fleming Ranking) is an English Author who specialises in a mixture of Comic Fantasy, Science Fiction and the Occult.

Robert was born in Parsons Green, London and grew up in the Brentford area (also in London).It is in Brentford that the majority of his books are set, with many of them featuring John Omally and Jim Pooley from the Brentford Trilogy of which there are currently 8 novels.

Robert is a very rare author in that he doesnt take himself too seriously, even to the point of fabricating a very humourous biography.
Robert's books deal in detail with the macabre and how this intersects with modern life while also involving many obscure joke references and a level of depth that challenges the conventions of traditional story telling.
