Carl Neville was born into a working-class family in Barrow-in-Furness in 1970. After re-sitting his O-levels and going on to take A-levels he studied English and Sociology at the University of Leeds, then, after a five-year interim in which he worked in any number of factories and Warehouses around Leeds, he gained an M.A in Creative Writing at Bretton Hall where he wrote his first novel, a gothic horror about a man who brings his girlfriend back from the dead, Jessica: A Cautionary Tale. He self-published two further novels - White Diaspora and Three Men, One Room. From 2006 onwards he was part of an influential critical blogging community, and was involved with a series of popular blogs on the 70s, 80s and 90s.
