Benjamin Stevenson is an award-winning stand up comedian and author whose first novel, Greenlight was shortlisted for the Ned Kelly Award in 2019.

He is one-half of a hugely popular comedy show called "The Stevenson Experience" which has had sold out appearances at the Melbourne International Comedy Festival, various comedy festivals around Australia and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

His second novel, "Either Side of Midnight" was released by Penguin Random House Australia on the 1st of September and wow does he know how to pack a punch with his writing.

This novel was completely gripping, utterly thought-provoking and terrifying it is exploration of the power of influence in today's society. Intricately plotted with lots of twists and turns . . .it kept me guessing until its breathtaking conclusion.

Had so much fun chatting with Benjamin about his novel.
