About This Website

Enter into the frightful world of the macabre, where things are not always as they first seem. Open the gates to those obscure regions of your soul where fear and hidden desires wreak havoc with the imagination. I bid you welcome to Tales of Dark Romance and Horror, the official home for the fiction of A.D. Vick. 

  I'd like to give special thanks to the following:

Gruesome Encounters: A Collection of Nightmarish Fables

 

 I am very pleased to announce the publication of my latest book entitled Gruesome Encounters: A Collection of Nightmarish Fables. It has been five years since the publication of my previous book, and this one picks up where A Day of Reckoning And Other Frightful Tales leaves off. 

Here lies a story of a group of small-town toughs who get over aggressive with the wrong woman--one who is more than capable of putting them in their proper place. 

Also here is the tale of a French man of the cloth, who finds himself enraptured by the charms of a young woman who is haunted by her demonic ex-lover. 

Within the pages of this new publication unfolds the story of a young girl, who at the tender age of six, is kidnapped from the carnival at which her mother works by a malevolent harlequin. 

And there's more contained within the pages of this new publication. If this new book of horror interests you, scroll back up to the section entitled How to Find These Books. This is where you will find purchasing information. Thank you for being here!
