David Lewis is the short story author of hair-raising mystery Dry County.
Brought up in Oklahoma, David first moved to London for studies. After acquiring an MA degree in Literature from UCL he moved to France.
David started his writing career at the age of nine when he participated in his school’s writing competition. After helpful edits by his father, David’s story, Cindy to the Rescue, won the prize. Since then, his short stories have been published in J’aime Mon Quartier, Je Ramasse, Chelsea Station, The Fish Anthology, Liars’ League London, Indestructible, Willesden Herald: New Short Stories 9, and Talking Points Memo. David also posts essays and translations on Medium.
A short Q&A with David Lewis can be seen below:
Q: If you could travel in the past, which one of the great writers would you like to meet and why?
A: When I meet living writers that I like, I get so fan-boy nervous that I can’t think of anything to say. So it’d be best to keep me in the present and safely away from Gustave Flaubert, Shirley Jackson or Vladimir Nabokov.
Q: Is there a book that you keep going back to and how many times have you read it?
A: More a story than a book: Tristan and Isolde. I probably keep returning to this story because it exists in so many different versions.
Q: What superpower would you like to have and why?
A: Telekinesis. It gives you lots of other side superpowers that only count as one… I’ve thought about this question a lot over the years.
