Welcome to the strange, sharp, and strikingly original world of Daniel Spero.
From time-skipping tales that dance with death’s dark humor (The Dead Beats), to dystopian sci-fi romps that dare you to laugh while the planet burns (Wait for Juan), Spero is a genre-bending force anchored in indie edge and unfiltered truth.
With a dozen screenplays, a shelf of novels, and two pictorial memoirs to his name, Daniel Spero writes with fearless clarity and a taste for the unexpected—his work swinging between the sacred and profane, comic and tragic, intimately human and wildly imaginative. Need a beat to read by? Head over to the MUSIC page to hear him behind the kit.
Whether recounting a Phish tour with gonzo flair (Fall 98), capturing the grit of broke youth in Chicago (Chicago), chronicling an expat’s spiral into addiction (Hun King the Ice-Head), or riffing on rhythm and mania in a memoir of musical mayhem (A Life in Concert), Spero fuses biting wit, emotional depth, and boundary-pushing vision.
His work resonates with readers and viewers drawn to razor-sharp dialogue, unforgettable misfits, and stories that don’t pull punches. Across genres and mediums, one thing remains constant: a voice that’s fearless, subversive, and electric with life.
