Rich DouekRich Douek writes stories that pull no punches – emotionally charged, boundary-pushing fiction where characters are tested, broken, and sometimes transformed by the brutal truths they uncover. Whether he’s working in horror, fantasy, or speculative fiction, Douek explores what happens when people are pushed to the edge – morally, psychologically, and spiritually – and what’s waiting for them when they go over.
His creator-owned work includes the Bram Stoker Award–nominated Road of Bones, the deep-sea thriller Sea of Sorrows, and the transgressive jungle nightmare Breath of Shadows — all acclaimed for their intense atmosphere, philosophical depth, and relentless pacing. He’s also the writer behind titles like Gutter Magic, Wailing Blade, Drive Like Hell, and Happy Hill, and a contributor to high-profile projects at Marvel and DC, including Superman: Red & Blue, Spider-Man: Edge of Spiderverse, and Batman: The Brave and the Bold. His work has been recognized by the Bram Stoker Awards (Road of Bones), GLAAD Media Awards (Young Men in Love) and nominated for multiple honors across the industry. Rich is known for stories that are bold, unsettling, and fiercely character-driven. He doesn’t write safe stories — he writes the ones that haunt you. If you’re looking for fiction with sharp teeth and sharper ideas, you’re in the right place. |
