   Dustin's Blurbs
About me:

There is a common demise to our dreams that we as a society sadly allow to define our adulthoods. As children we daydreamed of being cowboys and bank robbers and actors and drifters. Not one of us, not you and certainly not I ever dreamed of becoming the societal norm set by past generations and kept in place by our peers. I will not settle until I have reached my dream, concurred my goals and have found whatever it is I am searching for. And I tell you, whoever you are, to never stop trying. Killing your dream is suicide, without a dream you might as well be dead. You and I may never reach what we set out to achieve, but at least when our dying days come we can say we tried...

Now available from Raw Dog Screaming Press

LaValley's collection of stories drags us under to face the lows of society—the helpless and the morally corrupt. Snippets of our own lives can be found between the moments of brutality, a reminder of our younger years when we were bullied apathetically, almost as an afterthought, by bosses, teachers, and others. Recalling silly, failed romances and hours wasted in style with friends who had nothing to lose or gain. And in those brief moments of recognition the lowlifes become underdogs who, though seriously misguided, never stop fighting.

Writer

THE BLEEDING; A CHILD'S GUIDE TO DEATH; LOWLIFE UNDERDOGS; A CHILD'S GUIDE TO PRISON (forthcoming). The collaborations BUTCHER KNIVES & BODY COUNTS (a slasher movie guide), and 10 NAILS ON A SCREAMING CHALKBOARD (graphic novel) among many other short stories and non-fiction scattered in anthologies, magazines, ezines, graphic novels and comic books.

"Haunting and subtle, beautifully and creepily rendered, LaValley's tales raise the bar to what modern horror should be. Stylistically poetic and as honest as you can get, LaValley's debut collection is not to be missed!" --Ronald Damien Malfi, author, The Fall of Never

"Only the best of writers can make you feel sorry for a zombie, and Dustin LaValley is one of them. He writes with emotional guts and isn't afraid to spill them in the most artful and deranged ways imaginable. This chapbook is sure to be a collectable someday; for now, for those of us lucky enough to be ‘in the know,’ this is to be savored as a great introduction to a powerful new writer!" -- Michael Arnzen, author of Play Dead and Rigormarole

"An alluring and demented jigsaw of warped passions and erotic damnations. Sick and hot. Hot and sick."-- Ezra Buzzington, actor, The Hills Have Eyes (2006), Art School Confidential, and Fight Club

"Everywhere in LaValley's writing there is the starkness of honesty, and a depth of comprehension that can only come from enduring true suffering. As with any accomplished artist he transforms real experience into unreal beliefs of humanity's triumphs and failures. What is unique here is the intensity of his vision-his is dark literature in which the reader is struck repeatedly from unexpected angles, completely defenseless and eventually beaten into submission." --John Edward Lawson, author of Pocket Full of Loose Razorblades

"A very cool range of creative vision and quite a mastery of the stream-on-consciousness style that's engaging, grim, and elucidating at the same time. In all, very powerful and unique work."--Edward Lee, author of City Infernal.

"Talent here? Definitely!"--Mort Castle, award-winning author of Cursed be the Child

"Dustin’s tales are definitely something one cannot get enough of, and I found myself wanting to read his stories more than once. You will too, I could probably put a guarantee on it—especially if you enjoy deviancy and a stab of the macabre with a heaping spoonful of bloody morals."--Mary Goff, writer/editor Pretty-Scary.net

"This is one of those collections you need to own. The stories grow even better after the first reading, you are going to want to thumb through it again and again. I love this collection of stories by Dustin LaValley and I can't say enough good about it." --HorrorNews.net

Kiss Boobs for me,
