Horror Novel Books
When civilization collapses overnight, survival demands more than strength — it demands will.
Amid the ruins of a world consumed by infection, Aaron, his dog Billy, and a determined virologist named Bristol fight to endure the unendurable. Their struggle pits them not only against the mindless hordes but against something far older and more calculating, something that has lived in the shadows of myth for centuries.
Of Hunger and Will reimagines the apocalypse with a harrowing blend of survival horror, human resilience, and a chillingly fresh vision of the vampire — not as folklore has told, but as the world was never ready to face.
Dark, visceral, and unflinching, this is a story of hunger, choice, and the question that won’t die: is humanity worth saving?
Horror Novella Series
A stranger has come to the hollow—and behind him, something far older follows.
The first installment of what is a three-part demonic horror novella.
1870, A mountain hollow locked in winter. A preacher who clings to faith. A Stranger who knows too much.
The stranger’s past was a mystery and in Black Creek, mysteries have teeth.
Since his arrival, the town had seen both deliverance and dread. He’d driven devils from the possessed, stilled the mad with a whisper, and cast shadows from wells that had long whispered back. Some called him a man of God. Others said no man could do what he did.
But evil hadn’t ended with his miracles. It had grown.
The war for Black Creek has begun—and not all angels serve the light.
Winter grips the valley again, and the Stranger’s presence has drawn the darkness into open war. For weeks, he and Preacher Solomon have fought side by side, driving out demons as fast as they rise. But the evil that festers beneath the hollow has learned their names. It knows their limits. And it has sent a message of its own.
