About Me
- Neal Asher
- Latchingdon, Essex, United Kingdom
- I’ve been an engineer, barman, skip lorry driver, coalman, boat window manufacturer, contract grass cutter and builder. Now I write science fiction books, and am slowly getting over the feeling that someone is going to find me out, and can call myself a writer without wincing and ducking my head. As professions go, I prefer this one: I don’t have to clock-in, change my clothes after work, nor scrub sensitive parts of my body with detergent. I think I’ll hang around.

Jon Sullivan organized this fossil? pure evil.
Not a nice thought, being systematically stripped of your flesh by those gnashers under the huge hood. Those outer ones are freakishly close to how i picture them aswell.
uncanny - just to show evolutionary design does throw out every conceivable possibility, at least once...
Not Jon Sullivan, Vaude - all his visualizations are between his ears, so maybe he's as sick as me.
Spencer, it adds the trapped in darkness aspect to being slowly eaten alive.
Jebel, there's not a monster I've invented that doesn't have a near equivalent on Earth. This is why it makes me laugh when critics occasionally say my monsters are a bit OTT.
These mouthparts are actually one of the most common sets around as they belong to most gastropods http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radula.
I can just imagine the set that must have belonged to the house-sized snail on SpatterJay and to Larry Niven's frumious bandersnatch on Jinx.
