Dale L. Sproule has published over 50 stories and poems in markets including Ellery Queen’s, Pulphouse #1, and Wild Things Live Here - The Best of Northern Frights. He’s had several Pushcart Prize nominations and was publisher and editor of TransVersions in the 90s. 

As DLSproule, he writes horror – with two collections; Psychedelia Gothique and Psychedelia Noir. 

As Dale L. Sproule, he has created the Gods of the New Wilderness Series — A techno-mystic sci-fi saga for readers of M.R. Carey, Dan Simmons, and fans of post-apocalyptic intrigue.

After the collapse of the old world, new gods are emerging — not from the heavens, but from within.  WIthin the human soul and within the BioGrid. The fusion of both is the transformation needed to rule in the New Wilderness.

But rebellion is growing. Desires can’t be controlled. And the merger of humanity and technology ... is required to build the road into the future.

Rich with political and sexual intrigue, Gods of the New Wilderness is a bold, genre-defying series that blends philosophy, AI, and myth into a world where the line between faith and programming is dangerously thin.
