Martin Millar is a Scottish writer from Glasgow who now resident in London. Under the pseudonym of Martin Scott, he has authored the [[Thraxas] series of fantasy novels, for the eponymous inaugural volume of which he won the World Fantasy Award for World_Fantasy_Award—Novel|best novel]].
Overview
The novels he writes under his own name focus upon urban decay and British subcultures, and the impact these have on a range of characters, both realistic and supernatural. There are elements of magical realism. Some of them are set in Brixton, Millar's one-time place of residence; many are at least semi-autobiographical, and Love and Peace with Melody Paradise and Suzy, Led Zeppelin and Me both feature Millar himself as a character.
His Thraxas novels combine secondary world fantasy and pulp noir thriller. In 2000, he received the World Fantasy Award for best for the first installment, Thraxas.[1]
