Author D.S. Ullery has been honing his craft since childhood, when he would pen tales of the ghastly and macabre to entertain his family and friends. His enduring love affair with the horror genre began in 1976 at the age of five, when he caught a late night broadcast of the Universal classic Creature from the Black Lagoon on the horror program Creature Feature. Young D.S. was hooked for life.

From 2002-2003, D.S. repeatedly contributed material to the independent horror magazine Hacker's Source, during which time his short story "I Knew the Witch" was published in the magazine.

Following his tenure at Hacker, D.S. worked as a full time writer at The Lake Worth Herald, the community newspaper of his hometown Lake Worth, Florida. After that, the cinema bug bit him and he enrolled in the Palm Beach Film School, completing the program in early 2008 and going on to write, direct, edit and -in two instances- appear in four independent short films, all of which are available for viewing on Youtube and at least one of which is straight supernatural horror.

In May of 2013, after an almost five year absence from writing fiction, D.S. returned to the craft he loves so much.
