william sleator

William Sleator (1945-) is a noted science fiction author who writes primarily for the so-called "junior adult" audience (pre-teens and adolescents), but has also occasionally written for younger audiences. His books typically deal with adolescents coming across a peculiar phenomenon related to an element of theoretical science, then trying to deal with the situation. A theme that is frequently intertwined with the science fiction plotline is that of family relationships, especially between siblings. Due to the suspenseful and often eerie nature of some of his works, Sleator has been compared to young adult horror writer R. L. Stine. Others cite a strong resemblance to the paranoid, dream-like style of Franz Kafka, which is most notable in The House of Stairs, one of Sleator's most powerful novels. Sleator lives in Boston, Massachusetts and in Thailand; elements of Thai culture occasionally turn up in his stories. He has two brothers, Daniel and Tycho, and a sister named Vicky.
