Stories for the darkishly minded

Pick your poison

Multi-book series to short stories.

Dark Urban Fantasy

Darker than average Urban Fantasy. Character driven plots dip a toe into Dystopia. Blood and action in equal measures. This is the world of the anti-hero.

Folk Horror

Paranormal elements intertwine with psychologically driven plots. Characters run from flawed to freaky. Settings are realistic. Atmospheres are claustrophobic.

Demons are rising. Cities are falling. Isn’t it time you picked a side?

Three people who should never have been in the same room: a half-demon girl with an impossible survival record, a millionaire with poor impulse control, and the world’s highest-paid assassin who is beginning to question his vocation. Against them—a fallen angel with ambitions that would embarrass most gods, and a vampire old enough to have invented the sins he practices. The angel and the vampire are working together. After a fashion. That particular arrangement will not end well for everyone involved, and I mean that as a recommendation.

Box set book cover: dark urban rising complete trilogy fantasy supernatural thriller with half vampire, angel, assassin anti-heroes in apocalyptic settings London, Detroit, Boston, Las Vegas.

I recommend the entire series

This is a most satisfying read. I’ve read a considerable amount of urban fantasy and this one is right up there with the best. The characters are original and each one has her/his appeal and an interesting character arc. The plot keeps you turning pages through this dark world where demons are gaining on humans. I recommend the entire series.
