Hello Mysterious Stranger!

As of writing this I've just launched my third extreme horror book. Before this I was primarily a movie guy, pursuing indie films and writing screenplays. Anyhow three years into novel writing, and I am still loving exploring this twisted genre.

Darryl Shaw liked Matthew Clarke's review of Double Dank: "Astral projection! Mysterious deaths! Graphic violence! If you like any, or all of these things, then Double Dank is a must read.

Darryl Shaw liked Sayer Spruell's review of Double Dank: "Double Dank is about Dook. He is a one-of-a-kind guy! He is a family man, a father, an uncle, and a killer. Oh, and he can do astral projection. No one is safe when they are around good ol’ Dook. Well…bad ol’ Dook. This book is no different from Darryl" Read more of this review »
