These Are My Stories. These Are My Melodies. You May Deem Them Melancholy, But They Are Mine. For some odd reason, I have always been intrigued by the more mysterious and unsettling aspects of life. Perhaps it is the sense of adventure. Or maybe it is simply the gloomy atmosphere and disquieting characters I might encounter. This is likely why I was fascinated by scary stories as a child. Eventually, I began writing my own horror tales. The books you will find here are the various stories I have written and published over the years. Likewise, the music I often found myself listening to as a child was portentous in nature. Thus, by degrees, I composed my own grave melodies. At the bottom of the page, you can learn more about the music I compose.
“Corruption Immortal” - A Short-Story Collection About Death, Phantasy, and the Supernatural
A hearse waits outside your window, and there are many places to travel before dawn. ‘This way,’ the mortician gestures with his gaunt index finger. Shall you accept his invitation and ride with him to the cemetery? Indeed, few are ever brave enough to travel beyond the grave and witness stories laid to rest that may never be told again. Yet only through these realms of fright, mystery, loss, sorrow, and joy will many hidden secrets reveal themselves. And with these revelations, what might you discover about yourself? Remember that our time is brief and the moon wanes; for this world is temporal, and Corruption is Immortal.
“Eternal Night” - A Collection of Gothic Horror Stories, Ghastly Fables, and Tales of Madness
Long ago, shadowy monsters with many legs roamed the earth after twilight. They yearned to smother the sun and keep the moon within the heavens everlastingly. However, in their attempt to annihilate the light of day, they opened a door that should have remained shut. And through this door, something grim spread over the earth, igniting chaos and horror like a fire. Now, the clocks tick patiently—awaiting the arrival of the Eternal Night. For when their hands stop—and their pendulums no longer swing—a horrid presence shall awaken beneath the soil. Will you know where to hide when your lamp burns dim? Or will you hearken to the madness that calls to all?
“Shadows on the Wall” - A Coming of Age Novel About Braving One’s Fears and Mortality
As a boy, Ephraim Madgwick roamed the forest surrounding the small hamlet of Dandelion Dale. With his beloved tabby cat, Little Lion, by his side, he also frequented the enchanted realms of his mind—inspired by the bedtime fables told to him by his father. However, the grand imagination young Madgwick inherited also came with a curse. After the sun bled over the heavens—and when the moon reigned—his nightmares decided to take on lives of their very own. Confronted with many fears, dreams of death, and a strange girl who visits his window beyond dusk, he must make a choice. And in the end, his decision will determine his fate fourteen years later when his shadows on the wall return.
The music occasionally found throughout the pages of this website is written and produced by Morbus Tenebris—an orchestral, Gothic instrumental solo project that I founded in 2018.
