Who is Dave Jeffery?

Dave Jeffery is perhaps best known for his UK #1 bestselling Necropolis Rising series of zombie books released through Severed Press. His Young Adult work includes the critically acclaimed Beatrice Beecham Series (Crystal Lake Publishing), BBC: Headroom endorsed Finding Jericho, and the 2012 Edge Hill Prize Long-listed Campfire Chillers short story collection. His short story, Masquerade was nominated for The Horror Society's IGOR Award.

He has published over 14 novels and collections with a variety of publishers. His short stories and essays have featured alongside many horror impresarios including: George A. Romero (Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead), Wes Craven (A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream), John Carpenter (Halloween, The Thing, The Fog), Tom Holland (Child's Play, Fright Night), John Russo (Night of the Living Dead, Return of the Living Dead) and Tony Burgess (Pontypool, Ejecta).

Jeffery is also screenwriter and producer at multi award-winning VLM Productions whose short films have featured at major horror festivals worldwide. Finding Jericho is currently being adapted for the stage.

He lives in rural Worcestershire with his wife and two children; where he is considered, in the main, to be quite odd.
