The Fifth Anomaly: A Threshold Chronicle

(The Threshold Chronicles Book 1)

Four successful investigations. Zero confirmed supernatural encounters. The Urban Exploration Society has debunked dozens of urban legends with science and documentation.
Until Hillrose Penitentiary.

What begins as another routine investigation becomes something else entirely when Marcus Chen's team discovers a pattern. A pattern that repeats across decades, etched into the prison's structure and buried in its records. As they document the anomaly, the pattern begins to replicate. In their footage. In their notes. In their perception of time itself.
Some patterns demand to be observed. And observation changes the observer.

The Fifth Anomaly is the first book in The Threshold Chronicles, a cosmic horror series exploring the boundaries between humanity and their place in objective reality. This edition features an integrated soundtrack experience. Scan QR codes at chapter endings to hear the music that accompanies each threshold.

For readers of American Gods, House of Leaves, and the New Weird.

Fragments of Wrath

      

Fragments of Wrath

Twelve-hundred years ago, the Bloodmoon shattered. Now, a single, wrathful shard has fallen into Skeltryal. The Reckoning has begun. On a night that should have been like any other, a wrathful shard comes crashing into the Astern Sea, igniting a clash between those devoted to the Blood gods and the worshipers of the Celestial realms. As the wrath of the gods stir once more, Skeltryal is threatened with a war that could reshape the world into a living Abyss. Mysteries are unraveled and tensions rise between the four elemental kingdoms. Six must find their place. The astronomer, who will unravel the Blood gods’ dark ambitions; the assassin, bound to Insanity; the atheist, conflicted by belief when fables become reality; the Bloodkissed, discovering forbidden truths in the lands of the lost; the Scholar, who defies his sanctum’s laws to stop a looming war; and the Hollow, who begins a descent into darkness from which he may never return. As fate draws their paths together, each must choose where they stand in the coming storm—beneath the Bloodmoon’s wrath or against it.

The Outward Shows the Least

Some doors were never meant to be opened. 

Dr. Marcus Stavros has spent fifteen years being called a crackpot by the archaeological community. His theories about pre-Christian sites containing ancient secrets have cost him his career, his marriage, and his reputation. But when he discovers identical architectural patterns beneath Greek Orthodox monasteries across the Mediterranean, he knows he's finally found proof that will vindicate everything.

He assembles a team of damaged experts, each bearing wounds that run deep. And those wounds make them perfect vessels for something that has waited in the dark for eons.

Beneath the monastery on Kymolos, they discover a library of forbidden knowledge and a binding ritual designed to contain Erebus, the primordial darkness that predates the Greek gods themselves. The ancient seals are failing. The fragments of a shattered god are calling to the broken places in their souls. And to save the world, they must make an impossible choice: accept the paradise that darkness offers them, or become the prison walls for an entity that hungers to unmake reality itself.

The Outward Shows the Least is a psychological horror novella that explores the terrible price of obsession, the weight of trauma, and what it means to sacrifice everything, including your humanity, for a truth no one else will ever know.

For fans of cosmic horror, Greek mythology, and stories where the monsters aren't the only thing to fear.

A Siren Song

(The Siren, the Telepath and the Necromancer Book 1)

The Siren, gifted with the power to command anyone with a single word, is the cornerstone of the Seers' devotion. To them, Abel is more than human-a sacred figure to be worshipped and protected. But after the death of their mother, the first Siren, Abel's once-proud role begins to crumble. Their gift now feels more like a curse, and the weight of expectation threatens to break them.

When the Seers reach their limit with Abel's growing defiance, they turn to Damien, a drifter with nowhere to go and needing a place to stay, and assign him an impossible task: protect the Siren at all costs. For Damien, it's a chance to escape the streets. For Abel, it's an unwelcome intrusion from someone they neither trust nor want in their life.

Abel's only solace comes from Willow, their best friend and a skilled witch who serves as the community's healer. Fiercely loyal, Willow does everything she can to support Abel, but even her magic can't repair the cracks forming in Abel's spirit.

As Abel struggles to reconcile the Siren's image with the truth about their mother and the Seers, they begin to uncover the possibility of a life-and a love-beyond the confines of power and worship.

The Death Wizard Chronicles: Volume 1 

The Death Wizard Chronicles: Volume 1 is the opening book in an epic dark-fantasy trilogy set in the war-torn realm of Triken, where death itself can be harnessed as magic. The story centers on Torg, a Death Wizard, whose terrifying gift allows him to die voluntarily and return stronger each time, drawing power from the agony of his own demise. He is both champion and outcast—feared for what he can do, yet desperately needed as the last real defense against a rising tide of darkness.

Across Triken, brutal armies, monstrous creatures, and powerful sorcerers battle for control. Ancient forces stir, long-buried prophecies awaken, and a malevolent foe seeks not simply to conquer, but to break the world. Torg is drawn into a brutal conflict that will test his body, mind, and moral center. His struggle isn’t just against armies and tyrants, but against a deeper, more intimate threat: a monstrous enemy intent on devouring everything—and everyone—he loves. The series blends large-scale warfare with intimate character arcs. There’s rich world-building, a complex magic system based on the mechanics of death, and a tone that moves between visceral, violent, sensual, and deeply philosophical. While the battles are intense and the stakes apocalyptic, the heart of the story explores fear of mortality, the cost of power, sacrifice, trauma, and what it really means to be alive when death is never final.

Setanta and The Hungry Ones :

A Haunting Irish Fantasy You Won’t Be Able to Put Down

(The Raven Chronicles Book 2)

Setanta and the Hungry Ones is a sharp, unsettling blend of dark adventure and Irish folk horror.

After escaping the Lady by the Water, Setanta and his father journey across a famine-scarred Ireland, where something ancient has begun to rise. The Hungry Ones—spirits born from starvation, despair, and broken faith—roam the land, leaving lifeless, grass-stuffed bodies in their wake. Their hunger is endless, and it has started to follow Setanta. As villages empty, storms gather, and the old stories crawl back into the world, Setanta begins to understand that the famine never truly ended. It changed shape. It learned to walk. And the creature hunting them now is tied to his blood, his name, and a darkness he cannot outrun. To survive, Setanta must face the truth about who he is and what he is becoming. Atmospheric, fast, and rooted deeply in Irish mythology, Setanta and the Hungry Ones is the kind of folk horror you read in a single breath—and feel long after you finish.
