D.W. Gillespie lives in Tennessee with his wife and two kids, all three of which give him an endless supply of things to write about. A long time fan of all things dark and spooky, Gillespie began writing monstrous stories while still in grade school. At one point, his mother asked the doctor if there was anything she should be concerned about, and he assured her that some kids just like stories about decapitations. He’s been writing on and off for over a decade, quietly building a body of work that includes horror and dark sci-fi. His novels include Still Dark, The Toy Thief, and a short story collection titled Handmade Monsters.

He began writing seriously in 2002, and after winning the MacDougal Award for his short story 'The Home', he's since been published many times in print and online. His body of work includes dozens of short stories, such as 'Man of the People', 'Drawn' and 'Heavy'. He's been featured in many publications, both online and in print, and he's the author of nine novels and counting, including Still Dark, Daylight Dims, The Tree Man and Circle of Mist.
