About
S.R. Guell's grandfather Edward served in both the European and Pacific theaters of World War II, and came home with stories that strained belief. His grandson grew up to write fiction that does the same — suspense, horror, and conspiracy about isolation, buried histories, and the cost of finding what was meant to stay lost.
His work favors atmosphere, tension, and slow escalation over easy answers. His characters survive — or don't — based on what they're willing to question, risk, and believe.
He is the author of Affe Island and Affe Island: The Origin, an ongoing series set on a remote volcanic island in the Pacific — a place with a buried Nazi research facility, a colony of primates that never should have survived the experiments, and a history that refuses to stay sealed.
A former Air Force serviceman with more than two decades in higher education, he lives in Prior Lake, Minnesota with his wife, kids, two dogs, and a cat. He is most often found in his office at three a.m., researching something that probably should have stayed buried.
