Hello there!
My name is Alycia "Al" Davidson (she/they), writing under the name A.L. Davidson. I am an author specializing in massive space operas and tiny disturbances! I write stories about ghosts, grief, isolation, eco-horror, space exploration, queerness, and the human condition. I love telling tales with themes of botanical-based horror, honest and realistic romance, and harrowing, isolated settings. I grew up with a vast love of stories brought on by the influence of JRPGs, Disney films, and lore heavy novels and manga. I am passionate about horror and space exploration, stories with inclusivity and diversity, and character development. I started writing my first original story when I was ten. My first published book came out in early 2009 when I was just sixteen (written when I was in middle school a few years prior). I have grown a lot since then, learned new skills, and broadened my writing style, all the while never once losing the passion for storytelling that swelled in me since a young age. I am currently in the process of writing an eight novel space opera series that was started in March of 2020. While I am in the process of writing this series I am keeping most of it under wraps, but I am excited to share it with the world upon its completion. In the meantime, I have two ongoing slice-of-life meets soft sci-fi web novels titled The Wayward Souls of Avalon and Lonely Planet Hotel, and a cozy horror web novel called The Night Farm that can be found on my Patreon and Tapas, and am in the process of writing a handful of novellas, too. When The Rain Begins To Burn will be my first self published novella, coming October 2023. I also have several short stories and flash fiction pieces that are available in various online lit mags, which you can find on my Books + Works page. This is my personal site for all of my writing based projects, so you'll find some short stories, links to my available and upcoming work, and links to all of my socials! Thank you so much for stopping by! -Alycia |

"Loved this chilling story" - Lotte van der Krol (@lottevdkrol on Twitter), for The Dandy's Deal

"Davidson’s spin on the classic tale is an exquisite sci-fi stew of romance, suspense and mystery, with just a pinch of the familiar to make you realize the story of Rapunzel should always have been a heist in the first place." - Matt Ligeti (Comic Book Yeti), for R-PNZL

"Excellent start my friend!!! I'm loving the desperation and hopefulness there at the end. Very excited to read more here soon!!" - Brian Rodman (Brian Rodman Comics), for The Wayward Souls of Avalon

"You can't go wrong with anything Alycia has written!" - C.R. Langille (Timber Ghost Press)

"Very unsettling and suspenseful little story, like Lily it's easy to get so lost in watching the clock and the cupcake that you don't notice the threat until it's too late. I love how you give just enough detail to build up tension without going overboard, that's such a tricky balance to achieve. Fantastic piece, really enjoyed reading it." - Angela M. McCann, for 12:07am

"This story is an incredibly unique twist on forced isolation horror that will pull at your heartstrings. I loved Judah and Noland’s complicated relationship and how it thematically intertwined with the looming threat of the acidic rain. It’s as much a romantic story about the painful experience of healing as it is about environmental catastrophe." - Luke W. Henderson (Comic Book Yeti), for When The Rain Begins to Burn
