David Nix is an American author whose work spans westerns, horror, and science fiction. He published his first novel, Down the Dead Road, in 2011 and has since built a catalog of twelve books across five different series. His willingness to jump between genres gives each of his projects a distinct feel, from dusty frontier gunfights to apocalyptic survival stories.
His Jake Paynter series, released in 2022, follows a gunslinger navigating the lawless post-Civil War West. The Shore of Monsters duology takes a sharp turn into horror and dark fantasy territory, while The Well trilogy imagines a dystopian future where survival depends on what lies beneath the surface. Nix has also written several standalone novels and a nonfiction study of Steinbeck’s Of Mice and Men.
