Gauthier Wendling has been teaching literature since 2003 and writing gamebooks and escape books since 2015. As a teenager, he discovered Lovecraft's cosmic horror tales, Sherlock Holmes' investigations, and Ian Livingstone and Steve Jackson's popular gamebooks. In turn, he took up the pen to pay homage to these different genres. He has also created board games and game boxes for the Louvre museum and for popular licenses like Dreamworks Dragons or Minecraft.
