About Carl D. Smith

Carl Dean Smith, an Iowa native, is an imaginative author specializing in historical horror and fantasy. Since 2009, he has published over a dozen books, captivating readers with his unique blend of spine-chilling suspense and imaginative world-building. His passion for storytelling was ignited in the fifth grade upon reading Ray Bradbury's "The Veldt," a moment that forever altered his creative path.

When he's not crafting intricate tales of terror and wonder, Carl can be found indulging in some of his favorite pastimes: enjoying a diet pop or hot dog, creating music in his basement, and cheering on his beloved Chicago Cubs. His artistic sensibilities are deeply influenced by the quirky brilliance of Devo, the bonkers satire of Mad Magazine, and the comedic genius of SCTV.
