He writes in all genres but loves writing horror and fantasy tales that have supremely human characters placed in the most unusual of predicaments. Most of his stories would be right at home in The Twilight Zone, and will appeal to anyone who loves a good twist and a bit of humor. His poetry is almost literal to the point that readers will rarely have trouble knowing what a poem written by Adam Francis Smith is all about. His poetry touches on what it means to be human and showcases the variety of life on Planet Earth, from the spiritual to the corporeal. Nature and man's relationship with nature is also a common theme, but is not so much about man's abuse of the planet, as it is about the planet's abuse of man.view less
