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.

DF Douglas liked Martin A. A. A. 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 »
