“We must not be hasty.” --Treebeard in The Two Towers

Everyone loves Ents.

Slow, ancient, massive and calm - until the moment the forest decides to march to war.

A city carved from rebellion and rot. Half-sunk, half-star—Raptoræm drifts between heaven’s neon and hell’s spume. Her towers are fractured with old gods and broken scaffoldings; her streets shimmer with dust and spooks. Every soul here is hungry. Every prayer is a deal. Freedom costs blood. So does magic. 𓂏

Here, the stories lean dark — but the fire never really goes out. We walk the edge of old forests and ruined halls with muddy boots, where the air tastes of rain on stone, ritual herbs, and candle smoke.

I write character-driven dark fantasy — worlds where magic hums low in the bones, leaves scars, and changes the people who carry it. Where history weighs heavy, and survival often comes at a cost.

I build worlds from fragments — burnt letters, old crests, whispered threats in the dark. Sometimes those worlds become short stories for my original characters I cosplay, the stories of my D&D characters told in prose.

You’ll find quiet rebellions and desperate bargains, blades drawn in silence, and moments of warmth lit against the cold.

Author of WHEN THE STARS ALIGHT and the forthcoming WE WILL DEVOUR THE NIGHT @aninkwellofnectar calls The Fealty of Monsters "short, punchy, and brutally effective"

You can get the grimdark retelling of the Russian Revolution with queer vampires here.

Happy Holidays from the Pit ❄️🕷️

Three months since the preorder went live — and somehow we’ve already collected 800 brilliant misfits over on IG. Here's to more spiders, more stories, more sweet, sweet chaos than Mordiger would ever publicly admit to cherishing.

Thank you for every share, preorder, message, meme, and late-night lore spiral. You’re helping turn this strange little world into a living thing, and I’m so glad you’re here for the chaos.

Rest up, keep your coal close, and stay tuned — because 2026 has so much more coming your way… and the Maw is only getting hungrier. Here's to new friends, magic rituals, and the web we’re building together.

Raptoraem is just getting started.
