Wesley Dingler

Wesley Dingler (or sometimes Wesley L. Dingler) is an American novelist and poet. He began writing short-stories and poetry at age nine. Since then, he has composed almost a thousand poems and has penned numerous haunting short tales.

He has released four poetry collections: The Shifting Winds of Sanity, Echoes of Light, Experimentations in Rhythmic Word Art and The Thaw & Other Love Poems.

In 2009 he won second place in a short-story contest held by Suspense Magazine, after publishing the short-story First Flight Out. The magazine published the story again the following summer, along with those of two other contest winners.

Most of his fiction work revolves around the supernatural, with a writing style that typically uses conversational narratives to both smooth and/or intensify scary, dramatic scenes and chapters. A similar narrative style is often used in many of his longer, story-like poems.

He also writes young reader horror-fantasy fiction under the nom de plume Louis McKraker. McKraker’s stories are milder and clean, but are often more mysterious.
