About me

David Bliss writes high-tension fiction where the bill always comes due. His Spiral-linked worlds include:

Node Black — salvage-ship SF horror aboard the Farside Runner: dead signals, bad corridors, crew that won’t quit, and technology with teeth.

Caldera Bay Files — coastal noir with supernatural edges: a city that keeps ledgers, a PI who trades in memory, and rules that keep the night honest.

The Quiet — gothic dread and ritual costs: contracts, houses that breathe, and names that carry weight.
Across them all, you’ll find found-family under pressure, practical fieldcraft, puzzle-fair stakes, and visible receipts—wins that cost something you can feel.

New to the Spiral? Start with Caldera Bay through Rooms (Book 1) if you want modern noir with an eerie undertow. Prefer deep space and dread? Board the Runner in Hazard Pay (Node Black Book 1). For quick hits, the Halloween collections drop you into Caldera’s side streets and strange markets.
