This résumé should be impressive, were it not for the fact that he hung up his habit as soon as he had the chance, deserted the battlefield, and now wanders from town to town like a fugitive from justice.

But, in any case, what are these but irrelevant details?

On this occasion, the road has brought him to San Cipriano dei Monti, a small village over which rumors hang about a monster: a vampire of uncertain origin who has been threatening for months to drink the blood of innocent children.

Of course, Dom doesn't believe in such nonsense. But when he learns that the local count is offering a substantial reward for capturing and killing the vampire, he does not hesitate to join the hunt.

After all, how hard could it be to capture a beast that doesn't exist? <<less

A collection of short stories.
Tales of sailors on the high seas. From fantasy encounters, to grand storms of fate. Accompany these men on voyages... more>> across the great seas. <<less

In a boundless realm of ancient sects and unfathomable spiritual powers, Owen is just a forgotten outer disciple of the Heavenly Compass Sect. His talent... more>> for cultivation is nonexistent, his future bleak. But a relic from his past life—a mutated CPU fused with his very mind—awakens, revealing a reality far more complex than he ever imagined.
To Owen, the universe isn't just about cultivating Qi; it's a vast, intricate program. Spiritual techniques are mere functions, ancient arrays are lines of code, and even destiny might be a script waiting to be debugged. With a cold, silent panel only he can see, Owen begins to analyze, optimize, and subtly rewrite the mundane routines of his world. From refining basic cultivation exercises to scanning the 'properties' of ancient trees, every small success hints at the true potential of his power: to become the ultimate programmer of reality.
Yet, in a world where power is absolute and secrets are guarded by immortal beings, Owen must hide his unique path. For a 'bug' like him could either revolutionize cultivation… or be purged by the very system he seeks to master. Watch as an ordinary outer disciple rises, not by brute force, but by the ultimate hack: understanding the Code of Immortality. <<less

Weewooweewoo! As the latest agent recruited by the Bureau of Paranormal Activity, Catheris Orial–suffice to say–is NOT having a swell time being dragged around. His mentor is kind of a deadbeat; he has to wake up way too early; it's obviously not fun getting jumped on the job; and oh… oh that damned partner of his…! ... more>>

Catheris never asked for any of this–in fact he didn't want the job in the first place; he was already a tailor. Rather, he was forced into this by an unexpected roommate. He knew that moving to a new place would bring along some uncertainties and surprises, but having a demon was NOT what he had in mind.

It’d never show itself and would fuck up his kitchen for whatever petty reason. He didn't care about that, why would he? He found it a tad bit amusing–until its behavior had a drastic change. He found himself having episodes: clawing at his neck, unable to breathe. Suddenly, he’d wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat, chest tight before he’d notice the wetness on his cheeks–crying searing hot ink again. The most jarring thing was how it’d appear in his liminal dreams.

He wasn't the paranoid type, but he wasn't stupid–it was all real.

That’s when he unfortunately met Detective Mr. Beo, who offered him a deal–either suffer, or let the government study him. Unfortunately, said detective is also his partner. But… the other coworkers aren't so bad.

In conclusion the man is fucked, literally and metaphorically. <<less

Tess Granger sees ghosts. It’s not a gift—it’s a liability. Especially when you’re a broke freelance reporter in Chicago, chasing break-ins for rent money and... more>> avoiding anything that smells like magic.
But when a third suburban burglary ends in an eerie encounter with a bloodied ghost only she can see, Tess finds herself drawn into a hidden world of supernatural secrets, dangerous talents, and long-buried murders. The ghost? Leo Vance—a missing homicide detective who doesn't remember how he died. He just knows he needs her help.
Following Leo’s scattered memories and a trail of inexplicable deaths, Tess is pulled toward Briar Lake, a fog-choked town that doesn’t appear on any of her maps. It’s a place where everyone seems to know more than they’re saying, and magic isn’t just real—it’s hunted.
Caught between the ghosts of the past and the threats of the present, Tess must untangle a mystery no one else believes exists. Because someone—or something—is killing the magically gifted. And if she can’t uncover the truth, she might be next.
A slow-burn supernatural mystery with a sharp-witted heroine, a ghost with unfinished business, and a town full of secrets. Perfect for fans of The Raven Cycle, Verity Kent, and The Dead Romantics. <<less

📘 Mayday 32 · A Companion to Mayday 31... more>>

Read in any order. Your choice changes everything.

A companion to Mayday31. You can begin with either book. The protagonist and genre shift depending on where you start, unlocking a different side of the story.

Genre: Psychological Sci-Fi Thriller · Survival Fiction · Slow-Burn Romance · Existential Mystery

This is a slow-burning psychological sci-fi thriller, steeped in existential dread and quiet romance. The story begins in disorientation and gradually spirals into a mind-bending mystery where time fractures, memory fades, and nothing can be trusted, not even yourself.

For the most impactful experience, we recommend going in blind. Avoid reading the synopsis unless you're certain you want details.

Synopsis (Spoilers ahead. Continue only if you're ready)

Black wakes up on a beach no memory how he got here. The sky looks wrong. The air feels heavier than it should. And the date on the calendar reads something impossible May 32.

He is not alone. Thirteen strangers are trapped with him, all governed by one unspoken law. Each of them is only allowed to live for a year. When one dies, another takes their place. It happens quietly, inevitably, and without exception.

Until the cycle breaks.

Drawn to a girl whose presence makes this strange world feel almost real, Black begins to unravel the truth hidden beneath the surface. As the boundaries between life and death collapse, and the clock runs out, he's faced with a choice that could destroy what little he has left.

Because saving her may not be about sacrifice. It may be about realizing the life he's living was never his to begin with. <<less

Yuji was both an Inquisitor in training, and a murderer. There was an unknown horror inside his soul that he had long since given up... more>> trying to contend with. When it wanted someone dead, he listened. And his life continued like that until suddenly within the span of two days, he both found a hidden world that mirrored their own, and he met a girl that awakened the horror within him in ways he never could have anticipated.
-----------------------------------------------------------
- What to expect:
- There are two routes. Each breaking off in different directions, that both involve two different heroines.
- It's from the same world as my novel 'Shadowbane', but it is absolutely NOT required to read that first. <<less

⚠️ Content Warning:... more>>

This story contains mature themes and intense subject matter that may be distressing to some readers. It includes depictions of violence, abduction, drug use, and psychological trauma. Reader discretion is advised.

In the rotting underbelly of a dying city, justice has a new face—and it wears a mask.

By day, Brooks Benning is a father, a husband, a man barely holding together the fractured pieces of an ordinary life. But when the sun dips below Terminus' rusted skyline, he becomes something else: The Knightmare—a leather-clad, bike-riding specter built not from righteousness, but necessity.

Born of grief, rage, and too many sleepless nights watching monsters walk free, Knightmare stalks the streets of a city teetering on collapse. Rape, murder, trafficking—the headlines blur into statistics, but he remembers the faces. He remembers what the law couldn’t touch. So he stepped beyond the line, traded his suit for steel, and made himself into a weapon.

But this isn't a story about vengeance. Not entirely.

As the bodies pile up and the blood dries on his gloves, Brooks begins to lose sight of the man he once was. The mask no longer feels like a disguise—it feels like home. His double life fractures his family, gnaws at his soul, and fuels a dangerous addiction to violence he can’t outrun.

Terminus is bleeding out, and he might be the last tourniquet left.

But the darkness that plagues the streets is evolving. Whispers of things that shouldn’t exist echo in the alleys. Rogue tech. Ritualistic murders. Children going missing and returning... changed. Something unnatural is growing in the city’s veins—something worse than flesh-and-blood predators.

And as Brooks grapples with the cost of his crusade, he’ll have to decide:

Is he still a man trying to save his city?

Or just another monster wearing a different mask?

Because in Terminus, heroes don’t wear capes.

They ride. <<less

CODE RED
What if the only way to save the one you love… is to break every rule ever written?... more>>

Rose isn’t your average teenager. Born into a life of wealth but raised in loneliness, her only true companions are Bella—her fiercely loyal, boy-crazy best friend—and Tony, the charming captain of the football team with a surprising knack for coding.

But Rose has something most girls don't: a photographic memory, a genius-level gift for coding, and a quiet fire burning beneath her shy exterior.

When the one person Rose ever loved is arrested for a high-profile diamond theft he didn’t commit, her life flips upside down. The police have evidence. The news has headlines. But Rose has a feeling—and she knows the truth hides in encrypted data, buried secrets, and locked-down systems.

To prove his innocence, Rose, Bella, and Tony must dive headfirst into a world of dangerous codes, high-tech secrets, and heart-stopping escapes. The path leads them to a world where nothing is as it seems.

Get ready for a high-stakes mission where loyalty is tested, friendships are pushed to the edge, and every piece of information could be the key… or the trap. <<less

This tale might not be meant for you. The world is overflowing with voices—countless lives unfolding, whispered across time and space. How do you find your own among so many?... more>>

The past lingers, but the world keeps moving—never pausing, never waiting. There are joyful memories and sorrowful ones. And sometimes, there are echoes left unresolved.

That’s why someone like him must exist. A special storyteller. Those who are in charge of giving an ending to those stories stopped for some reason.

He has records to uncover, truths to mend, and perhaps, in time, he can also bring closure to his own tale.

(This will be written very slowly, don't hope for much unless I have some epiphany along the way (?) or incentive (?)) <<less
