David W. Adams is the author of dark and atmospheric novels spanning horror, sci-fi, and dark fantasy and now thrillers. Born in Wolverhampton, England in 1988 and raised in Telford, David took a non-traditional path, leaving formal education to work full-time, before discovering his passion for writing. His debut collection of haunting short stories was published in early 2021, born from the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic. Since then, his work has been praised for its emotional depth, chilling atmosphere, and cinematic storytelling. In 2024, his sci-fi horror novel *Horizon* won Audiobook Reviewer's award for Best Dystopian Novel, thanks in part to the gripping narration by frequent collaborator Brandon J. Peterson. That same partnership bore fruit the following year when sequel Emergence won 'Best Team Up.' David now lives in Dorset with his wife, Charlotte and their daughter. In addition to writing, he designs book covers and reviews books on YouTube and TikTok, where he shares insights into the craft and the indie publishing world.
