edit data

David W. Adams is the author of 16 dark and atmospheric novels spanning horror, sci-fi, and dark fantasy. Born in Wolverhampton, England in 1988 and raised in Telford, David took a non-traditional path, leaving formal education to work full-time, before discovering his passion for writing.

His debut collection of haunting short stories was published in early 2021, born from the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, his work has been praised for its emotional depth, chilling atmosphere, and cinematic storytelling.

In 2024, his sci-fi horror novel *Horizon* won AudiobookReviewer.com's award for Best Dystopian Novel, thanks in part to the gripping narration by frequent collaborator Brandon J. Peterson.

Soooo. Yeah. Progress.

I had an unusually productive weekend and I'm not sure that I have fully processed it yet.

I created an entire book in 36 hours that I had no idea I was going to do, and it's now available to preorder on Amazon. It's called Little Nightmares.

Then I finished writing my new novella, The Graveyard Shift which is also ready for preorder.

AND THEN....

I started editing the next novella Resurrection : Afte Read more of this blog post »

Well that was a book of two halves! Chloe flees an abusive relationship and moves to a cul-de-sac almost too pristine for real life. Like something from Desperate Housewives but in the UK. And the way it goes, you think it's going to be a thriller of ...more

This is quite possibly one of the darkest and most disturbing books I have read. And it is written exquisitely well. The sheer vulgarity of Howdy's actions and the brazen description of these vile acts is so vivid and so descriptive that unfortunately ...more

What an absolute load of Victorian drivel. Nearly 500 pages of arty farty pompous rubbish that bored me to the point of slumber. Now that I've got that outburst out of the way, let us be more professional. This book was 300 pages too long. The notion o ...more

A very enjoyable romp through the perils of sinkholes. (I know it's not technically a sinkhole but that's what I'm going with!) The whole story was brilliantly entertaining complete with rubbery creatures, overly smart kids and a dumb jock. Highly enjo ...more

David Adams liked Dean Asquith's review of Cornelia: "A occult, atmospheric horror that is heaped in suspense and character torment. Brandon's narration is superbly produced and epically delivered Which compliments the incredibly suspenseful and entertaining writing from David.

So as it turns out this story is not 4 books funny let alone 7 so far. If you were reading this as the first entry in the series, you'd be confused but it would still be new to you. Sadly I'm not. Book 3 was hot garbage and this is simply the exact sa ...more
