edit data

Dwight L. MacPherson is an award-winning author, editor, and publisher whose work spans horror, mystery, dark fantasy, and suspense. A former U.S. Army Combat Medic and co-founder of Hocus Pocus Comics, he has written for publishers including DC Comics, Image, and IDW, crafting stories known for cinematic tension, unsettling atmosphere, and unforgettable characters.

Now focused on prose fiction, MacPherson explores the fragile boundary between reality and the unknown—where small-town secrets, psychological dread, and supernatural forces collide. His debut novel, Welcome to Waadizi, Michigan, introduces readers to a haunting lakeside town where people disappear, memories shift, and something ancient beneath the water refuses to be forgotten.

NOTES FROM BEYOND Entry 1

For years, I’ve mapped out the unsettling spaces where everyday life bleeds into the unknown. But to truly understand where a story comes from, you have to look at the foundation. This is the first dispatch from the quiet corners of human nature. Press play, and welcome to the margins.

Dwight MacPherson liked Cindy Knoll's review of Welcome to Waadizi, Michigan: A Novel of the Waadizi Cycle: "Do not read this on a lakeside vacation, just saying. You can smell the mud, taste the water, & feel the silt between your toes. A collection of very interesting stories."
