edit data

D. R. Long writes speculative fiction rooted in quiet horror, survival, and collapse. His stories focus on ordinary people caught in moments where the world tilts and familiar rules stop applying.

Rather than spectacle, his work leans into atmosphere, pressure, and consequence; what it feels like to keep going when systems fail and certainty disappears.

He is the author of multiple novels and novellas, including Slimbies and A World We Never Knew, with many more to come.

When he's not writing, he can be found with his close friends in a game of D&D, playing fetch with his dog Girl, or traveling. ...more

D. Long and 2 other people liked Heather Lachelle Fulmer's review of A World We Never Knew: Faith: "Great Read BUT The ENDING!!!!!

Each of these AWWNK stories seems to take a piece of me with them. I don't mean that in a bad way either. I mean that a part of me lives in each of the kids in these stories. And some of them hit harder than others. Grace is one that had me in tears ...more

D. Long liked Stephanie Grisham's review of A Stake in Nottingham: "I have never experienced terror in a slow, almost controlled, and intimate way like this story invoked in me. My heart was pounding, but not racing. It was almost as if the mind knew I should be afraid but it was dangling just out of reach. Such an i" Read more of this review »
