David Parkinson was born in Liverpool, England, in 1974. A father, partner, and dedicated storyteller, he is the author of THE TALES OF TERROR AND TORMENT, a striking collection of horror and science-fiction novellas, novelettes, and short stories.

His work blends psychological depth with creeping dread, exploring themes of trauma, isolation, and the fragile boundary between reality and nightmare. With a distinctive literary style that balances vivid, poetic description with moments of stark brutality, he crafts unsettling narratives that linger long after the final page.

He is a proud member of both the Dark Veil Society and the Kingdom Horror Collective.

David also writes spooky children's fiction, and his first novel, Sleepy Jack, is planned for release in November 2026.
