Barrington J. Bayley (9 April 1937 – 14 October 2008) was an Englishscience fiction writer.

Biography

[edit]

Bayley was born inBirmingham, England,[1] and educated inNewport, Shropshire. He worked a number of jobs, including as reporter for theWellington Journal, before joining theRoyal Air Force during 1955; his first published story, "Combat's End", had been printed the year before inVargo Statten Magazine.[2]

During the late 1950s, Bayley became friends and a frequent collaborator withMichael Moorcock on features, comics and short stories, chiefly forFleetway Publications where he was also a regular writer of text stories, such as "The Astounding Jason Hyde" (reprinted byRebellion Developments in 2022). He later wrote sf stories forNew Worlds magazine and Moorcock, who described himself as "the dumb one in the partnership".[1][3] He, Moorcock andJ.G.Ballard met regularly and their discussions and theories led to the development of science fiction'sNew Wave. His short stories featured regularly inNew Worlds and then later in variousNew Worlds paperback anthologies.[4] His first book,The Star Virus, was followed by more than a dozen other novels; his downbeat, gloomy themes have been cited as influential on the likes ofM. John Harrison,[5]William S. Burroughs,Brian Stableford,Bruce Sterling,Iain Banks andAlastair Reynolds.[1][6]

Bayley, who came to live atDonnington, Telford,[7] died of complications frombowel cancer on 14 October 2008.[4] During 2001, he had written an outline for a sequel toEye of Terror, provisionally titledAn Age of Adventure.[8] The novel was unreleased at the time of his death but rumours and listings of copies have circulated, including claims of a 2002 release date and a page count of 288. The book still makes appearances in lists of his works, including the bibliography in the ebooks of Bayley's works released by theGollancz SF Gateway. His literary estate is managed by Michael Moorcock.
