About the author

Some say Edmund was found wandering the desert as a baby, others say his mother won him playing craps, yet others say that aliens were spotted near Vegas on the night he was brought into the world.

Edmund de Wight writes fiction which has a touch of dark fantasy, some sci-fi, a smidgen of thriller and a healthy dose of horror. Many of his stories take place in worlds very similar to our own but slightly changed from our current reality.
