Dave Higgins writes speculative fiction, often with a dark edge. Despite forays into the mundane worlds of law and IT, he was unable to completely escape the liminal zone between mystery and horror. A creature of contradictions, he also co-writes comic sci-fi with Simon Cantan.

Born in the least mystically significant part of Wiltshire, England, and raised by a librarian, he started reading shortly after birth and has not stopped since. He currently lives in Bristol with his wife, Nicola, his cats, Jasper and Una, a plush altar to the Dark Lord Cthulhu, and many shelves of books.

“Dave Higgins weaves a cocoon of dread around you and won’t let you out” —Simon Cantan, author of the Bytarend Series

“There’s a running theme of the otherworldly, ranging from the very grounded and possibly-coincidental in ‘Some Secrets’ to the dangerously potent in ‘An Unquiet Calm’ itself.” —Neil Murton, author of Magpie Tales
