Ben Laverock is a Canadian writer known for "The Jester's Curse," a graphic novel created in collaboration with the heavy metal band In Flames and published by Z2 Comics. His background in English, Philosophy, and Art deeply shapes his writing, where he seeks to fuse fictional narrative with philosophical reflections, crafting a space where boundless imagination intersects with timeless wisdom. An avid reader of fantasy and science fiction from a young age, Ben's literary interests shifted towards horror in his mid-twenties, particularly drawn to the works of H.P. Lovecraft and the Cthulhu mythos. This pivot has added a layer of cosmic horror and existential depth to his storytelling, which he continues to explore.
