Born in South Africa, in the heart of Johannesburg, Sian Claven grew up with a vivid imagination. When she wasn't immersing herself in books, she was actively creating her own stories.
At 29 years old, left to her own devices after her sister immigrated, Sian, wrote her first horror book Ensnared and dared to publish it under the guidance of indie authors Toni Cox and Ashleigh Giannaccaro.
Now she has released more than ten books including a thriller and sci-fi fantasy.
In 2019, Sian took up the challenge of publishing 11 books in 11 months.
Sian came second place in the First Annual Indie Awards for Favourite African Author.
Sian's book, Sylvana, the final book in her Butcher series, made the Amazon top 100 best sellers list in several categories across three countries.
In her spare time, Sian is an avid Harry Potter fan, pop collector and Bingo addict. She resides in Johannesburg with her 2 best friends, their daughter, their 6 dogs and 2 cats.
I actually read the hardback set of this series and WOW. First of all, it is a gorgeous beast to have in your hands. As I was reading these stories for the second time, I found myself in awe of Claven's talent all over again. I was pulled into the dark and twisted world within these pages. Scenes played out like a horror movie in my mind and it was awesome. This was originally the first series I read from this author and it still ranks up there with one of my favorites.
This box set definitely did not disappoint. It read like you were reading out of the doctor's personal journal. He kept notes about all his thoughts, feelings, experiments, etc. As time went on the doctor went mad.... then nurses went mad... You just need to read this book to get the jist of it. No words can describe how awesome this boxset was. Once you start reading, you literally cannot stop.
