Published works

Blake's books include themes of science fiction, fantasy, humour, internet activism, and survival. Settings are typically East Anglia. The dark humour fantasy short story 'Ravenous Cavernous' is set in a fictional land, following the wacky adventure of the main character, Poilu-Flux, on a journey of discovery about the interpretation of fear. The story contains numerous made up words.

Blake said: "There are political references in Extant too, and Ringlands talks about the danger of entering into a database state, the growing use of drones and excess CCTV in the UK. These topics are included because they are relevant to the story – in Ringlands they essentially are the story – I won't apologise for that. If it leads to more people reading more on the subjects I raise, then I would say that is a good thing. Not enough people know or understand just how little freedom we have left."
