Short biography: Steven Erikson se ve skutečnosti jmenuje Steve Rune Lundin. Pseudonym si zvolil podle rodného jména své matky, milovnice dobrodružných románů. Narodil se v kanadském Torontu v roce 1959. Vystudoval paleontologii a 18 let jezdil po vykopávkách v Jižní a Střední Americe. Tak poznal i svou ženu. Spolu se přestěhovali do Anglie, kde však nemohl najít odpovídající místo, takže byl nucen vykonávat různé kancelářské práce. S těmi mohl praštit až ve chvíli, kdy jeho Měsíční zahrady sklidily obrovský úspěch. Autorova popularita má i svou příjemnou stranu – patří k nejlépe placeným autorům tohoto žánru. Nyní se věnuje pouze psaní, jeho cyklus Malazská Kniha padlých má už osm dílů (z plánovaných deseti). Napsal i humornou novelu Potoky krve, popisující dobrodružství nekromantů Korbala a Bauchelaina a jejich lokaje.
Jeho oblíbenými autory jsou například Tom Clancy, Robert Ludlum, Stephen King, Glen Cook a Ursula Le Guinová. V oblibě má i RPG hry, vycházející ze systému GURPS. (Fantasy Planet)

Gardens of the Moon (The Malazan Book of the Fallen,… by Steven Erikson

Too many POVs, and they are too varied. From all powerful wizard / god / assassin level to regular (ish) guy and back, too often. The reader knows too much or too little in each role and it invalidates the perspective. The author acknowledges the inspiration of The Black Company, but uses the facsimile as a side-show in the interplay of world changing powers.

gratuitamente volgare
(colgo l occasione per dire che per quanto io ami alla follia questa saga c'è una pecca intollerabile: le donne sono tutte mal scritte, al limite del caricaturale!! e quasi sempre inutili, inconcludenti, semplici riempitivi anche quando sono protagoniste. E' talmente palese che sembra impossibile che nessuno lo faccia notare)
