Allen Dusk is a writer of dark speculative fiction who thrives on weaving shadows between genres. His stories slip between horror, science fiction, and the erotic, creating unsettling worlds where dread and desire collide. Known for twisting the familiar into something hauntingly strange, he pulls readers into narratives that refuse to stay predictable.

When he isn’t conjuring nightmares on the page, Allen explores his fascination with imagery through photography and revisits the eerie comfort of classic horror films.
