“Stories don’t always cost blood… sometimes they’re free.”
Welcome, wanderer. These are fragments from the shadows—tales, excerpts, and whispers I’ve pulled from my darker worlds.
They’re free for you to devour… but be warned: once you step in, there’s no turning back.
THE RETURN — Book I of The Season of Fear Trilogy
A continuation of the world first unearthed in my latest novel Blood & Seeds
Did you ever wonder how Halloween truly began?
The answer was buried in 1582 — the year time itself broke. When ten days vanished from October’s calendar, the Church called it correction… but the villagers of Bear Mountain would soon find out that the devilish folklore was true — nights when something ancient returned.
As frost grips the harvest, whispers spread through the valley: of black wings in the moonlight, of beasts once thought buried beneath Eden’s Brook. The old stories stir again, and this time, they’re real.
A handful of weary villagers stand against the horror, clinging to fading faith as one by one, they vanish into the night. When the final bell tolls, a shadowed figure steps forward — not man, not monster, but something in between. His arrival marks the beginning of the end.
This is where the legend begins.
This is where Halloween was born.
Book I: The Return opens the season of Fear Trilogy — a dark folklore saga following the cursed evolution of man, monster, and myth. Each installment deepens the tale:
Book I — The Return: The monsters come back.
Book II — The Rising: The monsters destroy until an ultimatum is made.
Book III — The Bargain: October becomes the season of fear and Halloween is created. A holiday celebrating the dead.
Tied to the infernal roots of my latest novel Blood & Seeds, yet standing as its own haunting mythology, The Season of Fear Trilogy unveils how one man’s bargain with darkness would curse every October to come — and give birth to Halloween itself.

Synesthesia: a rare neurological condition in which stimulation of one sense triggers automatic experiences in another—for example, hearing music and seeing colors.
For young Iris, the violin doesn’t just make sound—it paints the air with ribbons of light, every note alive with color. To her parents, it’s refinement. To her teacher, it’s truth. But as Iris’s gift deepens, the beauty begins to fracture, and the colors reveal something lurking beneath the world only she can see.

Victor Raines built the Mandela Machine to prove the Mandela Effect was no trick of memory — it was a fracture in reality. When the experiment drags him through shifting universes, he emerges as Chasmidon: half-man, half-quantum engine, a being whose every fury shatters planets. Worlds burn, histories diverge, and the machine feeds on the darkness it creates — until the one he remembers might be a final illusion.
