Vilém Koubek has been involved in video games journalism since he was a boy. After studying Czech at the Faculty of Education of Masaryk University in Brno he went into text editing, which led to his co-authorship (with Jana Kilianová) of the graphic novel Korektor / The Corrector (2014). He is currently a staff writer on the magazine 100 + 1 zahraniční zajímavost/100 + 1 Interesting Things Abroad. He followed his debut work of prose, the splatterpunk novel Čepel entropie / The Blade of Entropy (2018), with the critically acclaimed postapocalyptic SF Organická oprátka / Organic Noose (2019). In 2021, he published Posmrtná predace / Postmortem Predation, the first of his noir fictions featuring Vincent Krhavý; the second, Smějící se bestie / Laughing Beasts, came in 2022.
