LAMBENT has been out for five months now and it could use some more love, so here's a nifty intro overview to the novella to show you why you may want to pick it up!

October may be over but horror is a state of mind that lasts all year long. Pick up my lore-heavy vampire novels, LETIFER and SKIAMAKHIA to keep the bad times rolling as the weather gets colder and the nights longer!

LETIFER is a 500 page vampire crime thriller exploring the unlikely partnership of a Detroit beat cop and a vampire investigator teaming up to take down a supernatural serial killer loose in the city. For fans of slow burn romance, short king tops, big buff emo bottoms, and snappy dialogue, you'll adore this dark, grungy read well into the night.

SKIAMAKHIA is a treat for fans of Vampire: the Masquerade, toxic family dynamics, NBC Hannibal dialogue, and relationships built on foundations more competency-based than romantic. A transmasc CEO has worked hard to build a company based on longevity amidst the short half-lifes of the other dot com companies around him, and diligence like that attracts attention. Corporate takeovers are the least of his worries as he learns just what lies in wait beyond the firelight in a 90s era Detroit.

Both titles serve as standalones in The Dark Vagaries, an expansive universe growing by the hour. For the best experience, read them together for a deeper understanding of the machinations at play.

Letifer, the first book in The Dark Vagaries, is available now on Amazon/Kindle in ebook, paperback, and hardback form! If you’re a fan of LGBT+ romance, true crime, investigations, procedural dramas, and supernatural twists, this is definitely a story you won’t want to miss.

The holidays may be sappy but your next read doesn't need to be as well. Get some dark fucky queer hatemance courtesy of my Enemies to Enemies that Fuck Unhealthily dark fantasy book INFAUST!

A witch with a dead familiar is an outlier and an ill-omen to every village they pass through. Rehan Nadir is one such witch. The only jobs available to him are terrible ones, and vagrancy is his only recourse… At least, it was until he heard tell of the town of Hamelin’s plight. Stories of a malicious entity, a chaos god, have tormented the village for hundreds of years, and like clockwork tragedy has struck once more: while the adults gathered elsewhere, the children were spirited away. No trace of them has been seen since. The town is desperate to bring them back. Very desperate. Finding and returning the lost children would be just the thing to give Rehan a new chance at the life he lost after the death of his familiar, and if all it takes is killing a god of chaos, then he’s more than ready to take the plunge and open that door. Unfortunately, he just didn’t anticipate opening a few more in the midst of dealing the finishing blow.

Infaust is a dark romance recounting the tale of the witch Rehan Nadir and the elusive chaos god known only as the Piper. Trapped in a world where even the very dirt wants them dead, the two must depend on one another to escape—and along the way realize that perhaps the definition of a happily ever after really is a subjective one.
