Writer - The Bleeding; A Child's Guide to Death; Lowlife Underdogs, collection forthcoming from RDSP; the collaberations The Ultimate Slasher Movies and 10 Nails On A Screaming Chalkboard among many other short stories and non-fiction scattered in anthologies, magazines, ezines and graphic novel.
"Haunting and subtle, beautifully and creepily rendered, LaValley's tales raise the bar to what modern horror should be. Stylistically poetic and as honest as you can get, LaValley's debut collection is not to be missed!" --Ronald Damien Malfi, author, The Fall of Never
"Only the best of writers can make you feel sorry for a zombie, and Dustin LaValley is one of them. He writes with emotional guts and isn't afraid to spill them in the most artful and deranged ways imaginable. This chapbook is sure to be a collectable someday; for now, for those of us lucky enough to be ‘in the know,’ this is to be savored as a great introduction to a powerful new writer!" -- Michael Arnzen, author of Play Dead and Rigormarole
"Everywhere in LaValley's writing there is the starkness of honesty, and a depth of comprehension that can only come from enduring true suffering. As with any accomplished artist he transforms real experience into unreal beliefs of humanity's triumphs and failures. What is unique here is the intensity of his vision-his is dark literature in which the reader is struck repeatedly from unexpected angles, completely defenseless and eventually beaten into submission." --John Edward Lawson, author of Pocket Full of Loose Razorblades
"A very cool range of creative vision and quite a mastery of the stream-on-consciousness style that's engaging, grim, and elucidating at the same time. In all, very powerful and unique work."--Edward Lee, author of City Infernal.
