David Smith may or not be human, but you can be sure that whatever nefarious agenda he has planned, he will at least keep you sufficiently distracted with his plethora of eclectic tales. David is the author of 20+ books and more than 300 short stories, and has been published in many magazines, anthologies, and on other websites (lesser websites than ours, of course). He writes comedy dramas (whatever they are), detective/political thrillers, satirical tales, and horror stories with either Sci-Fi or ghostly elements. David lives near the idyllic Cardigan Bay in West Wales with his wife and best friend, Ally. She's probably in on the whole thing, but let's reserve judgement until we hear their defence.

"Lord of The Flies meet Romero's The Crazies. Grabs you by the face and never lets go. Highly recommended!" - Draw One Last Breath Horror Podcast"…a fast and rollicking read, both charming and unsettling. Ienjoyed the macabre adventures of the children in the book…plays on thisemotional tendency within the reader by immersing us in a suspenseful tale ofchildren trying to survive a world-ending apocalypse; namely, through acts ofvisceral violence deftly woven to both wrench our hearts and horrify us withthe cutthroat survival mechanisms employed by these children as they fumblearound trying to restore order to their upturned world…both heart-wrenching andshocking…but also darkly comedic in parts. Better start stockpiling, kids!" - Horror Tree"If you thought Lord of the Flies was a cool concept, yet always wanted a version that was light on philosophy and heavy on excitement (and includes plenty of gunfire) then you will love Nematodes…rural America, after nematodes (microscopic worms that are part of our ecosystem) killed almost all of the adults in America, turning them into flesh-eating, raving lunatics that soon die from the effects. If you saw that old movie The Crazies, the adults are kinda like that…The author does an excellent job portraying Paradise and its inhabitants.  Here, a rough social order has emerged, run by the strong, and force is the only law. The children are shown as you might expect – petty, extremely cruel, lying constantly to save themselves, and willing to turn on each other whenever necessary…a nice job showing what is likely to actually happen, as opposed to trying to portray the kids as suddenly maturing and acting like adults…shifts from being just 'survival of the fittest' to 'will humans survive, in the face of what they learn about the nematode infestation?'…high-octane pacing…you thought the Children of the Corn were bad news? They are bush-league amateurs compared to Caleb and his gang…truly a 'take no prisoners' world and it can be a bit tough to read at times, but it makes for a real page-turner of a story…if you want to see an ugly, ultra-violent world where the kids are every parent's worse nightmare, you don't want to miss this." - Monster Librarian"Packed with twists and turns and high-octane action, Nematodes is an unrelenting thrill ride that keeps the momentum on full throttle to the end." - Nick Carlson, Author of The God Tide"Full of disturbing truisms about the nature not of man, but of our younger forebears. If we screw up and civilisation collapses, they're unlikely to show us the mercy we think we deserve. Give a man a gun and he'll learn how to hunt. Give a kid a gun and they'll blow your face off!" - Ronald A. Geobey, Author of Kiranis
