Scott Dokey is an independent horror and dark fantasy author whose work blends apocalyptic mythology, psychological terror, and moral ambiguity. He is best known for the Hellish series, an ongoing saga exploring the eternal war between Heaven and Hell, and the Savage Apocalypse series. With nine published novels, Dokey’s stories confront themes of damnation, free will, and the cost of faith in worlds where salvation is never guaranteed.
His writing has received recognition from multiple screenwriting and literary competitions, along with praise for its dark imagination and chilling tone. In addition to fiction, Dokey develops screen adaptations, short-form promotional content, and immersive story worlds that extend beyond the page, focusing on building atmospheric, emotionally driven horror that lingers long after the final page. He lives in the United States and continues to expand his interconnected mythos across novels, screen projects, and multimedia storytelling.
Screenplays
Scott Dokey specializes in stories born from nightmares. His award-recognized screenplays blend cosmic horror, fallen angels, broken heroes, and the darkness hidden within the human soul. Praised for their dark vision and emotional depth, his work explores what remains when faith fails, hope dies, and the darkness begins to whisper back. Every script invites audiences into a world where the apocalypse is personal and redemption is never guaranteed.
