Colin Henry Wilson, an English writer, philosopher, and novelist, left an indelible mark on the literary and philosophical landscape. Born on June 26, 1931, in Leicester, Wilson's prolific career spanned across diverse subjects such as true crime, mysticism, the paranormal, and more, resulting in a remarkable collection of over a hundred books.

Wilson coined his philosophy as "new existentialism" or "phenomenological existentialism," reflecting a commitment to forging a new and optimistic existential perspective throughout his life's work. His philosophical endeavors were central to his identity, as he saw himself primarily as a philosopher with the purpose of shaping this innovative existentialism.

Raised in Leicester as the first child of Arthur and Annetta Wilson, he developed an early interest in science during his time at Gateway Secondary Technical School at the age of eleven. By fourteen, he had already compiled a comprehensive work on science titled "A Manual of General Science." However, as he departed school at sixteen, his passion shifted towards literature, sparked by the influential writings of George Bernard Shaw, particularly "Man and Superman."

Colin Henry Wilson's life and contributions encapsulate a journey from early scientific curiosity to a profound exploration of literature and philosophy. His legacy as a writer, philosopher, and explorer of the unknown continues to influence those who delve into the realms of true crime, mysticism, and the paranormal.
