This is such a gripping story. Read it!
Have the appetite for bleak ambiance and grim body horror? Inquisitors is written for you. A short novella you can finish in a single sitting.

I finally got my @BBNYA_Official judge feedback! “Exactly my cup of tea lol. Reminds me of an old Robert E Howard Conan adventure” “Great command of the language” “Very dark and descriptive in its horrors. Very evocative.” “you know what you are getting here” “As dark and grotesque as the opening paragraphs were, I could not look away.” Lots of delectable praise for The Shattered Line in there, but it seems there was one judge who didn’t connect with it 😂 Ah well, you can’t get them all. Although… with The Shattered Line seemingly just missing out on progressing to round 2 in BBNYA2026 & the same with IBOR2026 by a SINGLE FUCKING POINT, I might have to change the name to ‘The Shattered Hope | Book One in The Almost-So-Close Saga’. I’m stoked to see how much everyone enjoyed it and I’m glad my prose being a bit overwritten is consistently the biggest problem readers have with it. That makes targeted edits for book 2 much easier. Thank you to all the judges for giving it a go, and congratulations to everybody who submitted their books! #grimdark #grimdarkfantasy #darkfantasy #darkfantasybooks #indieauthor

Book rec time, y'all! Acts of Deicide by LE Garrison Won't sugarcoat it, this book is dark AF and asks a lot of questions for you, especially in terms of faith and belief. It borders a nihilistic track, but with an underpining of hope. A definite recommend for grimdark fans!

My September Reading Wrap Up! A fairly good reading month for me! I finished two indie fantasy books on opposite ends of the darkness spectrum, plus a mind bending scifi offering. Looks to be some awesome reading going into the holidays! What are you guys reading?

Take Erin Hunter’s Warriors series, make it as dark and brutal as possible - adults only - douse it in Hawkin’s vivid imagination, and you have Blacktail; a revenge story unlike any you’ve read before and one that lingers long after you’ve read the last passage.
