D. F. Lewis (Des F. Lewis) (b. January 18, 1948) was born in Essex, England. He qualified for a B.A. degree from Lancaster University in 1969, and worked for an insurance company from 1970-1992 while living in Croydon, Surrey. He has now returned to live by the North Sea coast near Walton-on-Naze with his wife of thirty-five years. Creatively influenced by a non-technical enjoyment of classical music, Lewis has had approximately 1,500 surreal and idiosyncratic stories published from 1986-2000, many of which appeared in hard-to-find small press outlets, plus literary journals and professional book anthologies. The latter includes three volumes of the Best New Horror series edited by Stephen Jones and five volumes of the Year’s Best Horror Stories edited by Karl Edward Wagner. Other anthologies he has contributed to include Shadows Over Innsmouth, Horror of the Next Millennium, Signals, Cthulhu’s Heirs, Touch Wood and The Ultimate Zombie. Sixty-seven of his stories were recently collected in Weirdmonger from Prime Books, and he is currently the editor/publisher of the acclaimed series of Nemonymous anthologies. He received the British Fantasy Society’s special Karl Edward Wagner Award in 1998.
