Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

D E McCluskey was born in 1973, in Liverpool, England. He is the author of novels, graphic novels and comics. He lives with his daughter (an author in her own right (at the age of 8) with her children's adventure The Hangry Hamster), his partner, her daughter, and a sausage dog called Ted.

He began writing in 2011, creating his first comic publication entitled Interesting Tymes, an anthology of short horror stories written in rhyme for children and adults. This was quickly followed by the second in the series, along with a spin off. Dave then moved on to more adult related fiction, releasing a number of one-shot comics, followed by his first, full length book, the graphic novel, Doppelgänger.

More graphic novels and comics ensued, including a collaboration with artist Joe Matthews to produce a retelling of the classic Christmas tale, A Christmas Carol, only this time rewritten completely in rhyme.

Dave then turned his sights onto writing novels. His debut novel The Twelve was released in 2017 to great reviews. This was followed by a collaboration with a local, Liverpool music historian, to produce a historical thriller called In The Mood… For Murder, based in Liverpool in 1946.

Dave likes to work mostly in dark, or mainstream horror, although he has cross genres into extreme horror, comedy, thrillers, romantic drama, and children's books.

He is also working with a number of other authors/comic creators, in collaborations in their works.

I love extreme horror, it’s my jam. I read a ton of it. You know what, I’m pretty sure this is the grossest thing I have ever read. I legit got nauseous reading this (that’s I good thing in my eyes) oh man it’s happening now, just thinking about this story. But ya know what, this is wonderfully written. If you think you can handle it, come join the cool kids club. We will be waiting for you!

    I've read "Zola." I've read "100% Match." I've read "Cows." I've even read "Grandpappy."

    Those pale in comparison to the stomach-churning i felt after reading this. So, obviously, it earns 5 stars.

    I was eating a cheese sandwich as I finished "Zola." But, I don't think I'll ever look at a Snack Pac the same ever again.

    So I didn't read the synopsis before starting this book, I thought it could be something to do with cannibalism. I was very wrong.

    Ohmygod this was brilliantly disgusting and vile. Do not read this whilst eating or drinking.....

    Boring .. this was the wtitters first attempt at an extreme horror novel and sadly he failed :(

    This one was rough and endurance reading is my hobby after finishing this one I was relieved that it is a short book. Absolutely disgusting. Extreme Horror is not the description for this novella as I was never scared just grossed out.

    Omg, that was something else. Nothing's made me rethink my life choices on books more than this did. I wanted to puke the whole time

    This is absurd and obscene but damn if it didn't commit. It stuck the landing too. This book new exactly what it wanted to be and didn't linger unnecessarily after it had done it's job. Would I recommend it? I have no idea, but it was messed up in the best way and I had a lot of fun.

    "‘Cravings? You know, any unusual patterns on what you want to eat? The baby has certain needs and requirements, and whatever it wants, you have to provide.’"

    Sarah is pregnant, and after having a terrible time conceiving, she's willing to do anything to ensure her baby is healthy. However, she starts to experience some very strange cravings..

    This was a buddy read with someone who wanted to read something as gross as possible, and I think I picked a good one 😅

    At only 60 pages, it's a very short read. It's fast-paced, really well written and exactly what we wanted.. absolutely disgusting 😂 it's a super descriptive, gross-out fun story with some weird and wonderful incidents throughout. If you liked Zola, you'll love this one!

    What have I just read?! I'm still trying to process it, but I've got to say, it was bloomin' hilarious and 𝐃𝐈𝐒𝐆𝐔𝐒𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆𝐋𝐘 grim at the same time! I mean, I was proper hooked - I devoured it ASAP. There were some bits that had me pulling faces like a plonker, but I couldn't look away! 𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐚 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤, 𝐝𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐲 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝. Weird, but weirdly enjoyable - WAHAHAHAHA!!
