Storm Constantine

    Storm Constantine est une auteure britannique de science-fiction et de fantasy dont les œuvres explorent souvent les thèmes de la sexualité et du genre alternatifs, du mysticisme et des légendes anciennes. Ses romans, fréquemment comparés au réalisme magique, examinent des relations complexes et des identités de personnages dans des mondes non conventionnels. Constantine est célébrée pour sa prose captivante et sa capacité à créer des récits riches et immersifs qui entraînent les lecteurs dans de profonds paysages imaginaires. Sa contribution littéraire réside dans son examen intrépide des frontières de l'identité humaine et de la sexualité à travers le prisme de la fiction de genre.
