Anton Stark
Anton Stark is the pseudonym of a Portuguese lad who dreams more than it's advisable with steam contraptions and worlds that don't exist. A student of languages by vocation, he has from an early age cultivated a fascination with all that's Speculative Fiction, and the Steampunk sub-genre in particular (a source of many a headache, when he has to explain the concept to someone else). His most striking features include a hilarious and innate ability to be misinterpreted and a deathly hatred of both beaches and small dogs. ------------------ Anton Stark é o pseudónimo de um rapaz português que sonha mais do que é saudável com máquinas a vapor e mundos que não existem. Estudante de línguas por vocação, desde cedo cultivou um fascínio pelo Fantástico e o subgénero Steampunk em particular, o que lhe granjeia frustrações imensas quando o tem de explicar a alguém. Entre as suas características mais marcantes contam-se uma habilidade inata e hilariante para ser mal-interpretado e um ódio de morte a praias e a cães demasiado pequenos.
