A NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR
A little strange.
A little closer to home.
Bryan D.S.V. is a Northern California author of atmospheric mysteries, dark fantasy, and speculative fiction. His stories begin in familiar places, then let the uncanny slip in through a wrong turn, a quiet machine, or weather that seems to know too much.
When he isn’t writing, he’s happiest outdoors, finding inspiration among the forests, mountains, and small towns of the North State.
