Science Fiction Author

David Conyers can make reality terrifying and quantum physics understandable and interesting. He is, undoubtedly, one of the best Mythos authors since H.P. Lovecraft invited us all in to play. - C.J. Henderson
David Conyers is a rising star and I'm sure we will be hearing a lot more about him in the future ... So good are the scenarios he dreams up that I'm beginning to wonder if he is really a time traveller from the future. - SFCrowsnest
Every bit as disquieting as anything found in the oeuvre of Lovecraft. - Peter Tennant, Black Static
When it comes to eldritch espionage action, nobody does it better.- Cody Goodfellow, author of Silent Weapons for Quiet Wars and Radiant Dawn
David Conyers is the reigning king of the Cthulhu Mythos Down Under. With Conyers at the helm, you won't be disappointed by your journey. - Shane Jiraiya Cummings, Horrorscope.com.au
The most prolific Australian dark fiction author. - Angela Challis, Australian Dark Fantasy & Horror, Volume 3

The latest issue of Jupiter, 36 Spond is out with my cyborg illustration on the cover. This was a character in a space opera novel I wrote a draft for some 20 years ago, which I plan to get back to one day in a completely new structure. Issue 36 is edited by Ian Redman and features new stories from Michael Sutherland, Greg McColm, Alexander Hay, Neal Clift and Dean Giles.
The other illustration is by the talented Nick Gucker, of a shoggoth infected human adapted from my...

Prometheus, it's Ridley Scott doing science fiction, so I'm excited about this movie. There aren't many good sci-fi films, the last one was Inception. Hopefully this one is just as good, but going by the trailer, and Scott's classic sci-fi movies Alien and Bladerunner, this one has lots of promise. View the latest trailer here.

Every now and then editors come up with fantastic ideas for anthologies that resonate with the tones of ‘why hasn’t someone done this before’, so when Brian M Sammons and Glynn Barrass came up with the idea for a cross-genre of Cyberpunk and Cthulhu Mythos stories, Eldritch Chrome, I had to submit something. Thankfully my story, “Playgrounds of Angolaland” was accepted. Set in Antarctica, my tale involves a cyberteam out to scam a corporation that has ma...
