American Pies

There was a time when pie was more important. Fat, fruit-stuffed confections lined the booths at state and county fairs, cooled in the windows of kitchens across the world, sprouted blackbirds in nursery rhymes and rose to iconic glory as a symbol of goodness and patriotism. That was then. Pies, as so many other things, have been in a slump for quite a while. This book - American...

The Mote In Andrea's Eye

This book is very different from most of my other work. Written during my first year of participation in Nanowrimo, it was completed in 31 days and sold in less than 60 days from the initial word being typed. It covers experiences my family had during Hurricane Isabel, a lot of experience from my time in the US Navy, and is based on a chance comment by Trish: “I wonder why a...

DEEP BLUE

The novel Deep Blue finds its origin in the novelette by the same name published in an anthology titled Strange Attraction. In Strange Attraction, all the stories were inspired by the “Kinetic” Art of Lisa Snelling, each author choosing one of the characters on an intricately detailed Ferris wheel sculpture. I was honored to be among authors such as Neil Gaiman and Gene Wolfe in...

Ennui & Other States of Madness

When Dark Regions publisher Joe Morey told me he wanted this to be “the definitive David Niall Wilson collection,” I wasn’t sure what to do. How do you choose? I’ve written and published over a hundred and fifty short stories over a couple of decades of writing. I have tried very hard over those years not to stereotype myself as that vampire guy, or that sex-in-horror guy, but...

Sins of the Flash - A Tommy Doyle Mystery

Christian Greve was a man on a collision course with destiny. He spent his days taking graduation pictures, glamour shots, and baby pictures, and dreaming of the day when the world would praise him for his talent.

The Parting - A Novel of The O.C.L.T.

There are incidents and emergencies in the world that defy logical explanation, events that could be defined as supernatural, extraterrestrial, or simply otherworldly. Standard laws do not allow for such instances, nor are most officials or authorities trained to handle them. In recognition of these facts, one organization has been created that can. Assembled by a loose...

Ancient Eyes

There are communities in America that have been closeted away since the earliest European explorers arrived. They brought their families and they brought their possessions and their beliefs, both open and secret. In the mountains overlooking San Valencez, California, one such community exists. In the midst of that community there is a broken-down wooden church. Above the...
