About Dean Alan Conrad

Dean Alan Conrad - Author

Dean Alan Conrad is a master of dark fiction, weaving tales that blur the line between the supernatural and the urban reality. His "After Dark" series has captivated readers with its gritty portrayal of vampires in modern city life.

Drawing inspiration from the shadows of metropolitan landscapes, Conrad creates atmospheric narratives that explore themes of survival, morality, and the hidden world that exists just beyond our perception.

When he's not writing about creatures of the night, Conrad can be found exploring the darker corners of cities, always searching for the next story that lurks in the shadows.
