Boris Starling

    January 1, 1969

    Boris Starling crafts gripping thrillers where death often features prominently, sometimes even deservedly. His literary journey began with an early, albeit plagiarized, display of storytelling talent that foreshadowed his distinctive, often violent, narrative style. Starling's novels, published under his own name and a pseudonym, delve into the darker aspects of human nature, consistently building tension towards impactful, often brutal, conclusions. Beyond his acclaimed novels, he has also made his mark as a screenwriter and creator of a successful television franchise.
