About the author
Saul has several major themes in his horror fiction; children as victims, and sometimes perpetrators, of evil; technology used for horrific ends; and occult occurrences (is it something external or internal that causes the horrible things to happen to his characters?). While Saul's earlier work has been noted for its extremely gruesome quality, in his later writing Saul is trying to restrain that aspect of his fiction. Often his plots revolve around hidden, secret evil that is discovered by an innocent person, who must then battle against seemingly impossible odds to defeat the demon.
David Daoust spent several years working in radio at WBOC-Radio and TV in Salisbury, Maryland. He currently resides in Northern Michigan and teaches media-related courses, and every now and then takes on a chance to act on the stage.
