Storm Constantine (1956-2021) was a British author whose work sits at the intersection of fantasy, science fiction, and occultism. She debuted in 1987 with The Enchantments of Flesh and Spirit, the first book in the Wraeththu series, which became a cult classic. The Wraeththu books imagine a post-human species that has replaced humanity, and they explore themes of transformation, gender fluidity, and spiritual evolution in ways that were unusual for genre fiction at the time.

Beyond Wraeththu, which eventually expanded into multiple sub-series (Wraeththu Histories, Wraeththu Mythos, Grimoire Dehara), Constantine wrote extensively in other settings. The Grigori Trilogy draws on fallen angel mythology, The Chronicles of Magravandias is a secondary-world fantasy about a royal dynasty, and her standalone novels range from cyberpunk (Hermetech) to gothic horror (Burying the Shadow). She also wrote non-fiction about Egyptian magic, paganism, and esoteric practice.

Constantine ran her own small press, Immanion Press, and edited the Artemis magazine. She was prolific across short fiction as well, with over a dozen collections and numerous anthology appearances. Her work has maintained a dedicated readership, particularly among fans of dark, literary fantasy that pushes against genre conventions.
