Ben Dylan Aaronovitch
born London, England: 22 February 1964
Ben Aaronovitch is an English author of science fiction and fantasy in novels, short stories, audio dramas and graphic novels, and also TV screenwriter.
He is known for his Peter Grant detective urban fantasy series, beginning with Rivers of London (2011) (published as Midnight Riot in US), and for his scriptwriting work for TV series Doctor Who.
He first came to notice after submitting script to BBC TV series Doctor Who (and the non-SFF Casualty.) Aaronovitch wrote two Doctor Who serials, Remembrance of the Daleks (1988) and Battlefield (1989), also wrote the novelisation of the former. Several rejected scripts became audio dramas or YA novels in the Doctor Who: The New Adventures series: Transit (1993), The Also People (1995) and So Vile a Sin (1997). He has also written TV episodes of Jupiter Moon, Dark Knight and Blake’s Seven audio dramas.
After Aaronovitch published his first Rivers of London novel, its success allowed him to write full-time. The series now includes the novels: Rivers of London (2011), Moon Over Soho (2011), Whispers Under Ground (2012), Broken Homes (2013), Foxglove Summer (2014), The Hanging Tree (2016), Lies Sleeping (2018), False Value (2020) and Amongst Our Weapons (2022).
A new novel in the series Stone Sky is due to be published in 2025.
The series also includes the novellas, The Furthest Station (2017), The October Man (2019), What Abigail Did That Summer (2021), Winters Gifts (2023); and The Masquerades of Spring (2024); the short story collection, Tales from the Folly (2020); and also 11 collections of graphic novels, beginning with Body Work (2016).
