They Laughed at Me

“The aptly titled They Laughed at Me is sharply dark, vicious, and disturbing. You’ll hate yourself for laughing at this twisted journey into the black heart of a troubled comedian. And the ending will shock you.”

—Tamara Thorne, Author of Brimstone and Haunted

Damned Fiction

“A unique and unsettling collection of disturbing, metaphysical excursions into the dark side where good and evil often wear the same faces as they plunder the souls of men.”

-Tim Curran, Author of The Corpse King and Fear Me

Travel Bug

“A quite extraordinary book.”

-Catherine Cavendish, Author of The Devil’s Serenade and The Second Wife

Horror of It All

“David Kempf has interviewed an impressive list of writers, editors, artists, and composers for this fascinating book. Revealing and unique. A rich feast indeed.”

-William F. Nolan, Author of Logan’s Run

The Petsorcist

“David Kempf’s novel of demonic possession is more than just a parody of one of the most famous horror movies of all time. I think many readers who enjoyed Blatty’s novel will get a kick out of Kempf’s use of merging horror and comedy.”

–Jon Donnis, Editor, Masters of Horror U.K.

Dark Fiction

“With DARK FICTION, talented newcomer David Kempf kicks open doors into a lot of the darker places of the human mind and soul. Dark, fast, and wicked fun… this is book with real bite.”

Jonathan Maberry, NY Times bestselling author of V- Wars and Patient Zero
