This tired-looking chap is Dave Musson, an indie author from the UK. Before he had kids, his beard didn't have any white hairs in it -make of that what you will!
Dave is a glasses-wearing, bearded human being from the middle of England who likes heavy music with loud guitars, watching movies, and reading and writing creepy stories. He has more hobbies than he should really have time for; playing in a band, hosting a bunch of podcasts, writing, and running a Stephen King-themed YouTube channel. Oh, and he also wrote and published The Ultimate Stephen King Quiz Book in 2022.
Dave lives at home with his wife, sons, and annoying dog. He made his debut as a published fiction writer in 2021's Welcome to the Funhouse, from Blood Rites. He was also a finalist in the Bellingham Review’s 2022 Tobias Wolff Prize for Fiction, and has been published in Psychotoxin Press, The Reach, and on The Horror Tree.

As well as writing, Dave also runs the YouTube channel Dave Reads King, where he talks about all things Stephen King - the books, the movies, and more! It's also where he hosts his podcast Constant Writers, the show where Dave talks to other indie horror authors about them, their work and their relationship with the works of Stephen King - bringing it all back into one loop!
