Dark Fiction Writer, C.D. Allen

New News

I started a new blog spot for myself. It's called CD Allen, Writer.

Also, see my "Current News" section for John Arthur Miller's Liquid Imagination and other strange things.

Douglas began dreaming of the dead when he was very young. Perhaps younger than the rest. Like his father before him and his father before that. They dreamed of things that should not be, dreams that are not for the living to know. They dream damned things . . .

FOR THE RECTOR HOUSE...

"The best of the bunch comes from C.D. Allen, who co-edited the entire volume with Molly Feese; his 'The Rector House' is an old-school horror show in the vein of H.P. Lovecraft, with a man who has no family suddenly learns he does, and travels to the big, spooky manse in which they live to discover their secrets. They number quite a few, all of them repulsive. I’d deem it [nearly] flawless . . ."                                              ~Rod Lott, Bookgasm

"C.D. Allen's 'The Rector House' is a truly powerful, Lovecraftian-influenced Victorian tale. A man’s proposal to the object of his affections is disrupted by the suicide of a woman who turns out to be his sister. Learning his father is ill, he travels back to a home he never knew and discovers that he was better off not knowing his roots. Delightfully sinister and a touch maddening, as a classic tale should be."                     ~Michele Lee, The Fix On-Line

Here's a book trailer for my novelette, The Rector House, appearing in Dark Distortions (a Scotopia Press anthology).
