Damien Richard

About the author

Damien Richard writes character-driven horror and fantasy that explores the grueling cost of survival. His obsession with dark storytelling began in his early teens, forged between hundreds of D&D campaigns and plots hammered out late into the night on his Packard Bell 316SX.

Since launching his publishing career in 2021 under the moniker D.G.R., Damien has built a visceral catalog of terror that prioritizes character depth over easy tropes. With seven novellas and a full collection to his name, his work centers on the resilience of the human spirit when the odds turn lethal.

His stories aren’t just about the monsters at the door; they are about the people inside, forced to endure the harrowing and the impossible. For Damien, horror is a test of will, and his characters must fight for every inch of ground.
