edit data

D. R. Long is a Delaware indie author writing quiet, strangely hilarious, haunting stories that rarely stay inside a single genre.

His work follows ordinary people through impossible situations, from apocalyptic collapse and moral horror to vampires, demons, terrible decisions, and road trips through Paradise and Hell. No matter how strange the world becomes, his stories remain grounded in consequence, human connection, and the families people choose along the way.

Prolific? Maybe. But readers never have to wait long for something new from D. R. Long.

When he isn’t writing, he can usually be found playing D&D with close friends, playing fetch with his dog, Girl, or traveling with his partner.

D. Long and 3 other people liked Ginger Kat's review of A World We Never Knew: Justice: "I really enjoy this series. I've only read two books from it, but I'm so intrigued by the mystery of what is happening. Where did all the people go? What caused them to vanish? Justice's journey is a short but sad read.

Justice was a fun book to write. Getting to live inside the mind of someone so positive started having an effect on me too. He made me not just notice the small glimmers of hope in things, but actively look for them. He even started becoming someone ...more
