David Sodergren
David Sodergren lives with Heather (his wife) and Boris the Pug (his best friend).

While growing up, David was the sort of kid that lived for horror movies and collected rubber skeletons. Not too much has changed since that time.

“The Forgotten Island” is the first stand alone novel and was released in 2018. Ana Logan agrees to go on holiday in Thailand with Rachel (her estranged sister), she hopes that it’ll provide a way for them to reconnect after years of drifting apart.

However now, while stranded on this apparently deserted island paradise without any food or a radio, reconciliation becomes a desperate fight to survive. Because once night falls on The Forgotten Island, the dark secrets of the jungle reveal themselves. Something watches from the trees. Something both ancient and evil.

Combining HP Lovecraft type cosmic horrors with the grimy sensibilities of the Video Nasties, here is an outrageous old school horror novel full of violence and mayhem.

“Night Shoot” is the second stand alone novel and was released in 2019. This group of desperate filmmakers break into Crawford Manor for this unauthorized night shoot. They’ve got zero choice. Their lead actress up and quit on them. They have run out of time. They’ve also run out of money. They are just out of luck.

For Crawford Manor has got this past that refuses to stay dead, and the crew will soon come face-to-face with this hideous secret which is stalking the halls. Is anybody going to survive…the NIGHT SHOOT?

A delirious homage to 80s slasher movies, this delivers page after page of white knuckle terror.

“Dead Girl Blues” is the third stand alone novel and was released in 2020. This young woman dies in Willow Zulawski’s arms, and it sets off this series of events which will push her to the brink of madness.

This mysterious video is the one and only clue, however while Willow digs deeper into the murky world of snuff movies, those that are closest to her begin showing up dead. Somebody out there will stop at nothing in order to silence her.

After all, when killing people is business, what is another dead body?

Part violent slasher, part noir mystery, this novel is the most recent shocker from David.

There is nothing to see, nothing to do there, except for this solitary grave close to the top of the mountain.

MAGGIE WALL BURIED HERE AS A WITCH reads its faded inscription. However sometimes the dead refuse to remain buried. Particularly when they have some unfinished business.

“The Navajo Nightmare” is the fifth stand alone novel and was released in 2021. Saddle up for twice the terror in this book.

THE HAAR.

To some it brings redemption, while to others, it just brings death and madness. What macabre secrets lie within… THE HAAR.

Deranged and romantic, this is a gore-soaked folk horror story.

“And By God’s Hand You Shall Die” is the eighth stand alone novel and was released in 2023. On holy ground it rests, this strange and windowless brothel that was built upon a church’s ashes. Nobody that works there believes in the rantings of Father Patrick, the insane priest. Not as he warns about the coming apocalypse, and definitely not as he speaks about this tidal wave of blood that’s coming to wash all the sinners away. Nobody believes him. Well except for Candy.
