Christopher John Boeken

    Deze auteur verkent de menselijke conditie onder extreme omstandigheden, waarbij hij zich vaak richt op de psychologische impact van catastrofes en isolatie. Zijn werk biedt een scherp inzicht in hoe mensen zich gedragen wanneer ze gedwongen worden existentiële bedreigingen onder ogen te zien, hetzij door natuurrampen, hetzij door maatschappelijke ineenstorting. Hij beweegt zich soepel tussen genres, van speculatieve fictie tot gothic romance en detective thrillers, altijd met een diepe interesse in de interpersoonlijke dynamiek en karakterpsychologie die de kern van zijn verhalen vormen.
