About
I write fiction in a variety of genres: SF/Fantasy, horror, thrillers. I write non-fiction about film and video games. I teach courses on film, games, literature and creative writing. So, clearly, I love the sound of my own voice, and the look of it in print. Here’s more of it, then, with me going on about whatever bright, shiny subject has captured my scattered brain at that moment.

Dear Mr. Annandale,
Just a quick note to thank you for “Final Draft.” This is perhaps the finest modern Mythos story I’ve read — I didn’t want it to be over — and it returned me to the sense of discovery I experienced on the night long ago when I first read Lovecraft’s “The Haunter in the Dark.”
Best wishes,
Peter Olafson
Thank you so much, Peter. I’m very fond of that story, and it means a lot to me when I hear that people enjoyed it. I couldn’t ask for a better reaction than the one you had.
Cheers,
David
I’ve heard great things about “Final Draft” as well, but haven’t read it yet. I’d like to buy it, in e-book form. Can you recommend a particular collection?
The collection it’s in, Dead But Dreaming, is still in print, though it doesn’t have an ebook edition. Getting that story into ebook form is certainly something I would like should explore at some point. Thanks for asking!
Hey David
Long time no see your books, etc.
Do get back in touch. I’d also be happy to review some of your books on my blog Ithere you go).
How are you? It looks like youre busy & good.

I’m really enjoying the new life and perspective you have given a classic character from Games Workshop. Your work on Yarrick the pleasant read. Right up there with the first bunch of Guant’s Ghosts or Ciaphis Cain novels. Keep up the great grimdark 🙂
Thank you! High praise indeed. And plenty more on the way!

Are the Yarrick books complete or will you write anymore? Big fan of your Yarrick books by the way.
Thank you,
Jonathan
Thanks so much! I love writing Yarrick, and would definitely do more if asked, but there isn’t anything on the horizon for now. We’ll just have to see what the future brings.
Hi David, absolutely love the Yarrick stories. I recently built my very own Fortress of Arrogance. I was wondering if there was anywhere where I could buy a book plate that I could stick in my Yarrick Omnibus? 🙂 thanks for the amazing stories!
Sorry for being so long in replying — I only saw the messages today!
I’m so glad you enjoy the stories. As for the bookplate, that’s a great question, but that isn’t something I have, I’m afraid.
Dear Sir,
I just wanted to take a moment to tell you how much I have been enjoying your Warhammer 40K horror books. They are incredibly entertaining and do an excellent job of being tension filled and disturbing in equal measure.
I’ve started listening to the Aconyte podcast of your Record of Eihi and I am enjoying it. It is hard to not suppose your descriptions of the Shadowlands are not comingled with potential descriptions of the Warp.
Keep up the most excellent work.
Apologies for such a long delay in answering, but thank you so much! This all really means a lot to hear, and helps make the work so very worthwhile.
