About David Gane
David Gane writes spare, unsettling fiction and poetry about being present when everything falls apart.
His work moves between literary realism, horror, absurdist comedy, and prose poetry - united by a preoccupation with mortality, impermanence, and the moments when we’re forced to witness what we cannot control. Gane trusts readers to do the work—offering physical details that resonate rather than explaining what they mean.
His characters face the incomprehensible—sometimes they stay, sometimes they run, sometimes they burn it all down. The prose is compressed, darkly funny, and genuinely weird.
Gane publishes original stories and poetry through his subscription service for readers willing to follow a writer across genres rather than stay within them.
