Chris McAuley wrote Curse of the Cyberons, a story initially printed in the charity Doctor Who Annual 1988 by Terraqueous Distributors, then given a commercial audio release by BBV Productions as part of the Cyberon series, performed by Terry Molloy.

McAuley had previously worked with Molloy in the audio drama Voices of Dracula, where he played Renfield to Colin Baker's Van Helsing and Jessica Martin's Mina Harker. He had also previously contributed another charity story to Terraqueous's Doctor Who Annual 1989 (where he penned an origin story for Mags authorised by her creator Stephen Wyatt), as well as cowritten a short story with John Peel for The Cosmic Masque, the Doctor Who Appreciation Society's Doctor Who fanzine.

McAuley is best-known for his part in the "StokerVerse", a franchise developed alongside Bram Stoker's descendant Dacre Stoker, designed to expand the universe of Bram Stoker's Dracula. Indeed, Curse of the Cyberons functioned as a crossover with the Dracula universe, with the Cyberons coming across a far-future version of Dracula himself, reduced to a disembodied head kept in stasis. He also co-created the science-fiction Dark Universe with Claudia Christian, who played Peri Brown's mother in The Reaping.
