Marek Z. Turner is an English writer whose fiction primarily focuses on those for whom life hasn’t been kind to. His work encompasses the crime fiction, noir, and thriller genres, with a dash of black humour thrown in.

His work includes the fiction novels Killerpede (2022), The Eighth Hill (2023), and the collection Born to Lose: Tales of Gigi (2025), as well as several published crime short stories. He has also written several non-fiction articles on Italian film published across a range of magazines and home entertainment releases.

Permanently fuelled by caffeine, he has a passion for Calcio, and Italian food, as well as gritty and cynical European crime fiction. In 2021, he was a finalist in the Capital Crime New Voices Award competition, and in 2024 he was named in the final five shortlist for the Black Spring Press ‘Crimebits’ competition, as judged by Lee Child.
