edit data

David Frederick Douglas is an independent Irish author who now resides in Spain. His obsession with horror began at a young age when he first saw the movie Scream premiere on TV. He remembers recording it on VHS and wearing the tape out by rewatching that grisly opening scene with Drew Barrymore.

Drawing deeply from Irish history and folklore, David crafts stories he hopes are as unsettling as they are captivating.

For the Beast, He Awaits Me is his debut novella, and his next project is already underway and slated for release later in 2026.

Definitely some stand out quotes and epigrams coming from Lord Henry, and the story itself is intriguing and I’m glad I read it. But really though, what was chapter 11? I had to make a trip over to Reddit when I was 4 pages in to make sure I hadn’t h ...more

DF Douglas liked Dr Martin McKee's review of The Picture of Dorian Gray: "A horror classic. Beautifully written. We are within the aristocracy of the late 1800s. Dorian Gray is a handsome wealthy young man, the object of an artist’s fascination and allure. A portrait is painted and Dorian makes a bargain - the painting age" Read more of this review »

Got me out of a terribly slump, for that I gratefully rate 4 stars. Probably more a 3 or 3.5, but sure!

Whalefall is a book which seems deliberately divisive. I can see why people loved it, and I can equally see why people hated it. I fell somewhere in the middle, and the side I leant more to alternated a million times back and forth as the story went ...more
