Kim Newman è un autore, giornalista e critico cinematografico inglese di rilievo, noto per il suo lavoro nei campi della fantascienza, della fantasy e dell'horror. La carriera di scrittore di Newman è decollata con la pubblicazione del suo primo romanzo, The Night Mayor, nel 1989. Tuttavia, è meglio conosciuto per la sua serie Anno Dracula, che ha guadagnato una notevole popolarità tra i lettori.
L'opera di Newman è caratterizzata da interessi ricorrenti nella fiction horror e nella storia del cinema, che possono essere fatte risalire alla sua prima esposizione a Dracula di Tod Browning all'età di undici anni. Il suo curriculum comprende diverse serie di libri, come la serie Diogenes Club e la serie Drearcliff Grange, nonché collezioni di racconti, fumetti e romanzi autonomi. Alcune delle sue opere sono state pubblicate sotto lo pseudonimo di Jack Yeovil. Nel corso della sua carriera, Newman è stato riconosciuto per il suo eccezionale lavoro ed ha vinto numerosi premi prestigiosi, tra cui il Bram Stoker Award, il BSFA award e il International Horror Guild Award.
Oltre al suo lavoro come autore, Newman è anche un esperto di cinema horror e sci-fi. Ha scritto diversi libri di critica cinematografica, tra cui Nightmare Movies e Millennium Movies. I romanzi di Newman sono noti per l'uso promiscuo di tropi di horror, sci-fi e fantasy, spesso con riferimenti irriverenti e complessi che vanno da Kipling a James Bond, e da Edgar Allan Poe a Patricia Highsmith. I suoi romanzi pseudonimi, pubblicati sotto lo pseudonimo di Jack Yeovil, offrono eleganti sovversioni di cliché di genere.
Newman è una figura di spicco nel mondo letterario, con una carriera di oltre due decenni. È un collaboratore regolare di Empire Magazine e ha scritto per varie altre pubblicazioni, tra cui The Guardian, The Times e Sight & Sound. Ha anche fatto frequenti apparizioni in radio e TV e gode di una notevole popolarità nel genere horror. I contributi letterari di Newman sono stati riconosciuti con diversi premi, tra cui il Bram Stoker, International Horror Guild, British Fantasy e British Science Fiction Awards. È stato anche nominato per il Hugo e World Fantasy Award.
