About
David Rees-Thomas

David Rees-Thomas weaves surreal horror, speculative mystery, and folk-weird fiction that peels back the ordinary to reveal the uncanny beneath. Originally from the misty valleys of South Wales and now immersed in Japan's enigmatic landscapes, his stories haunt the spaces between memory and reality—drawing from Derrida's hauntology and Mark Fisher's eerie philosophies.

With over 21 books, including the acclaimed Hauntologies series (exploring Welsh ghosts and liminal dread) and the Draze cyberpunk novellas (blending AI thrillers with Lovecraftian twists), David's work has appeared in journals like Shimmer and Vastarien, earning praise for its atmospheric depth and sonic undercurrents. When not writing, he composes ambient/experimental music as Phenotypo on Bandcamp, turning forgotten echoes into dreamlike tracks.

David splits his time between writing, composing, and navigating life in Japan. His fiction invites you to question the inescapable past and the ghosts we all carry.
