约翰·斯拉代克出生在美国爱荷华州，在明尼苏达州立大学学习了机械工程和英语文学课程。随后，他便投身于一系列充满叛逆色彩的职业，快餐厨师、专业技术作家、铁路扳道工、牧场工人，这些经历对他将来的写作颇有助益。离开美国之后他先隐居于摩洛哥、西班牙和奥地利。他埋头写作的习惯令当地农民惊叹不已。从1966年起，他定居于英国伦敦，成为新浪潮科幻作家中的一员，逐渐成为备受推祟的科幻作家。 他创作的侦探小说以撒克里·费恩为主角，都是密室和不可能犯罪。第一篇短篇小说《未知之手》是四重密室，获得“泰晤士侦探小说竞赛”首奖。第一部长篇小说《黑色气氛》涉及招魂术、诅咒等各种元素。第二作《无形的绿先生》更是成为密室推理的名作。另外还有一篇超短篇侦探小说。可惜的是，在七十年代完成上述作品之后，他转回又继续创作科幻小说，不能不说是侦探小说界的遗憾。
