Richard M Awe

Richard M. Awe writes crime noir, horror, and thrillers that don’t flinch. His stories are soaked in bourbon, blood, and the shadows most people refuse to see.

A native of Northern Illinois, Richard draws from real places and midnight truths—crooked politicians, haunted backroads, cursed killers, and working-class heroes who play the game anyway.

When he’s not writing, he’s camping with his family, exploring backroads in a UTV, or magnet fishing—hauling up guns, knives, and things best left buried.

No matter where he is, he stays in tune with what walks in the shadows and bumps in the night. He sees what others won’t—and brings their stories to print.
