Saad Hossein

Saad Hossain is a black comedy, science fiction, and fantasy author from Dhaka, Bangladesh. He went to the University of Virginia from where he studied Commerce and English literature which he says is one of the most impractical combinations ever. In his early days as an author, there was very little interest in his writing and he was forced to work a variety of jobs. Some of these jobs included running a restaurant, making rope, and even digging holes. While he has recently found success with his writing endeavors, he has a full-time job in manufacturing and engineering. However, writing is an urge that he had to satisfy at some point given that he has always been a very creative person and he finds it therapeutic. Hossain has said that writing is a skill that comes with practice and is something that can also become addictive. His debut novel was “Escape from Baghdad,” an account of the Iraqi War that he believes was the biggest war of our generation. He followed that up with “Djinn City” a science and fantasy fiction novel. His third novel “The Ghurka and the Lord of Tuesday” was published in 2019 and is a post-apocalyptic story. His short fiction has been featured in “Apex Book World of Science Fiction” and “A Djinn Falls in Love.”
