Although
Terry Lamsley spent most of his childhood in the South of England,
since then he has lived in the North, moving to Buxton, Derbysire
in 1978. He was inspired by the decay of the town to write a
collection of tales which he self-published under the title
Under the
Crust in
1993, illustrated by Michel Patey-Ford.
Tales from
the collection were reprinted in "Year's best" anthologies and the
book was short-listed for three World Fantasy awards, including
"Best Collection" and "Best Novella", the latter of which he won.
It was subsequently reprinted by Ash-Tree Press, who have printed
two new collections by him.
