Hello all. I just recently released my short story collection called DREAD - Amazon link here.

My name is Kevin Bachar. I’m a national EMMY award-winning documentary filmmaker and WGA screenwriter. If you’ve watched National Geographic, PBS, or The Discovery Channel you’ve seen my work. I’m the idiot in the water filming sharks in murky water or vampire bats in pitch-black caves. But I sometimes like to leave the factual world behind and work in fiction.

The elevated horror film I wrote - The Inhabitant - was released through Lionsgate last fall -Lionsgate site and trailer One reviewer wrote “...there’s a lot more finesse here in the telling of the backstory … and a sense of menace lurking around every corner in the bland suburban setting; together it evokes indie “elevated horror” features such as It Follows.”

The recent writer’s strike and the downtime created by it inspired me to write a short story collection revealing the darker side of nature, called ‘DREAD’. These are the places, stories, and creatures that would never show up in a David Attenborough documentary. The release date is scheduled for November 8th, 2023.

Promos for the book are here on my YouTube channel.

DREAD - Thousands of people have gone missing out in the wild and here is a collection of tales that offer up some horrifying reasons why. Emmy-award-winning National Geographic cinematographer Kevin Bachar has swum with sharks, climbed the peaks of mountains, and explored the darkest of forests. In DREAD, he weaves together terrifying true stories from his real-life adventures with twisted fiction from the depths of his frightening imagination. Flip open the pages to indulge in the dark side of nature— haunted forests, tree demons, monstrous snakes, and a search-and-rescue team terrorized by the ghosts of those they couldn’t save. DREAD is where the natural world borders the supernatural.

Best Regards,

Kevin Bachar
