Dick Wybrow is a Canadian author known for blending humor with supernatural thrillers, suspense, and elements of horror, mystery, science fiction, and fantasy. His novels are primarily set in the United States, where he spent his formative years. A former stand-up comedian, Wybrow infuses his writing with wit and sharp comedic timing, creating engaging narratives that balance levity with tension.
Wybrow's passion for storytelling was reignited after discovering "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" by Douglas Adams, which inspired him to craft immersive worlds of his own. He cites influential authors such as Stephen King, Janet Evanovich, Margaret Atwood, and Harlan Coben as key inspirations for his work. Originally from Canada, Wybrow now resides in New Zealand with his wife and pets, including two cats and a small dog. His early exposure to literature - beginning with "The Wind in the Willows," a childhood gift from his father - initially deterred him from reading but ultimately shaped his eclectic narrative style.
