Steve Aylett (b. 1967 in Bromley, United Kingdom–) is a satirical science fiction and slipstream author of several bizarre books. He is renowned for his colorful satire attacking the manipulations of authority.

Aylett left school at age 17 and worked in a book warehouse, and later in law publishing.

Aylett is synaesthetic. He claims to have books appear in his brain in one visual "glob" which looks like a piece of gum (but denies it's "channelled"). ^[1]

Beerlight

Slaughtermatic, The Crime Studio, Atom and some of Toxicology are set in a supposedly future dystopian town called Beerlight, apparently modelled on Baltimore.

Accomplice

Only an Alligator, The Velocity Gospel, Dummyland, and Karloff's Circus are set in Accomplice, a suburb on a tropical peninsula in a perhaps nuclear-blasted future, underneath which live demons. Aylett says he is in the tradition of "real satirists" such as Voltaire, Jonathan Swift and Mark Twain.

Comic books

He has written issue #27 of Tom Strong and a comic called The Nerve, as well as visual artefacts such as Jeff Lint's comic The Caterer.

Awards and nominations

Slaughtermatic was shortlisted for the Philip K. Dick Award in 1998.
