Charlie Higson

Charlie Higson fascinates me because he refuses to pick a single creative lane. Actor, comedian, screenwriter, former singer, and then a novelist who wrote the post-apocalyptic Enemy series and the Young Bond books, he moves between comedy, horror, and boyish adventure as if they were one continuous playground. That breadth could read as scattered, but in his case it feels like genuine curiosity that never dulled with age. I find his ability to write for both children and grown-ups, and to make people laugh while also unsettling them, quietly remarkable. He is the sort of restless, playful talent I always root for.
