The authorship story
The Bourbon Kid series, opening with The Book with No Name, is a pulp supernatural thriller sequence that began online in 2000 and found mainstream publishers in several languages. Its British author has published the entire series anonymously and has given interviews only on condition of namelessness, making the anonymity part of the books' branding and a standing choice rather than a mystery to be solved. Consistent with this site's editorial standards, this entry reports the documented record only: the author is anonymous, deliberately, and no identification is asserted or speculated here.
