Short biography
Dimas Rio was born in Jakarta, Indonesia on December 28, 1985. His first novel, "Dinner with Saucer" was published in his birth home in 2006 and went on to be shortlisted in the "Talented Young Writer" category of the 2007 Khatulistiwa Literary Award in Indonesia. He has since written a short story series for Indonesia's prominent teen magazine that ran from 2006 to 2008. "Who's There? (A Collection of Stories)" is his second published book.

When not writing, he has a hobby of being lost. He spends his weekdays being lost in the sea of office paperworks, and spends his weekends being lost in procrastination. But his favorite state is being lost in a good book, an engaging conversation and cultural places that broaden the mind. And also B grade horror movies.

I received this book in exchange for a review but I would give this a true 5 star review regardless. This guy might be one of my new favorite authors. The stories in this collection are concise but astoundingly written. Very descriptive scenes draw you in and the stories themselves take on a life of their own to pull you into each setting further. Dark characters and situations leave you oddly unsettled as they unfold and a couple of them had me doing double takes in the dark. Excellent show more work! Highly recommended! show less
