Storm Constantine è un'autrice britannica di fantascienza e fantasy le cui opere spesso approfondiscono temi di sessualità e genere alternativi, misticismo e leggende antiche. I suoi romanzi, frequentemente accostati al realismo magico, esplorano relazioni complesse e identità di personaggi all'interno di mondi non convenzionali. Constantine è celebrata per la sua prosa accattivante e la sua capacità di creare narrazioni ricche e immersive che attirano i lettori in profondi paesaggi immaginativi. Il suo contributo letterario risiede nel suo impavido esame dei confini dell'identità umana e della sessualità attraverso la lente della narrativa di genere.
