Biography
Niall Griffiths was born in Liverpool, though he now lives in Wales. He claims, as his early influences, Ron Berry, Alex Trocchi and Hubert Selby Jr. After doing a variety of short-term jobs, he went to Aberystwyth to study for a Ph. D. but dropped out, feeling that he”learned more on Wales and Welsh language and culture on building sites than in university” and took up writing. His writing has been compared to Irvine Welsh.
