John Wyndham Parkes Lucas Beynon Harris wurde am 10. Juli 1903 in der Nähe von Birmingham, England, geboren und besucht im Laufe seiner Schulzeit verschiedene Internate. Nach seinem Abschluss arbeitete er unter anderem als Landwirt, Grafiker und Werbefachmann, bevor er sich ab 1931 dem Schreiben widmete. Er ist einer der wichtigsten Science-Fiction-Autoren Englands und benutzte eine Reihe von Pseudonymen, darunter auch Lucas Parkes und John Beynon. Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs arbeitete er als Verschlüsselungsexperte für das Royal Corps of Signals und nahm an der Landung in der Normandie teil. Nach dem Krieg wandte er sich, inspiriert und angespornt vom Erfolg seines Bruders Vivian Beynon Harris, erneut dem Schreiben zu. 1951 landete er mit Die Triffids einen Bestseller, dem sechs weitere Romane folgten. Zahlreiche seiner Werke wurden verfilmt, darunter auch Die Triffids und Das Dorf der Verdammten. John Wyndham starb am 11.3.1969 im Alter von 65 Jahren in London.
