Veterans in Horror Spotlight 2023: William R. D. Wood

William R.D. Wood Biography

William R.D. Wood traces his love of science fiction and horror back to a childhood filled with Space: 1999 reruns, frequent visits to the Night Gallery, and a worn-out copy of Dune. A good writing day finds him at any of several overlooks on Virginia’s Blue Ridge Parkway deeply immersed in new works of cosmic horror. His work has appeared in Nature, Daily Science Fiction, and Cosmic Horror Monthly. Will lives in Virginia’s beautiful Shenandoah Valley with his wife, children, and assorted scientific enigmas in an old farmhouse turned backward to the road. You can find more about him at his website.

Book Recommendation: “Cave Kisses” in Dark Corners of the Old Dominion

My story “Cave Kisses,” while not military-related, is a recent favorite of mine. You can find it in a charity anthology recently released by Death Knell Press called Dark Corners of the Old Dominion. All profits go to Scares That Care.
