BOOK OF SHORT STORIES
based on the painting Skull Castle by Jamie Koala
Expanding on the poem Skull Castle, these short stories and poems give the reader a deeper look into the mythology of the painting of the floating skull.
Seen through the eyes of a collection of characters who are forced to navigate the rough post-apocalyptic wastes of what they once knew as home, this book of short stories will show you the reason their world was turned upside down and how they found their way out—and the terrible choices they’re forced to make along the way.
“Not all legends are virtuous. Not all good men die with honor. [H]e wondered what it meant when a legend and a good man was made to become a murderer. Which of the five hells awaited a legend like that?”
Creed of Legends
A FANTASY NOVEL
The first book in the Fear & Fortitude series
The rumblings of war have begun again. Decades ago, the kingdoms of Kresha created alliances that tore the continent in half, and from the chaos a hard-won peace emerged. The two legends that shaped this world through an epic duel were blessed with legacies—one a son, the other a daughter.
The tyrannical ruler of the kingdom of Creet brings war upon the realms with his avarice, but in the wake of the madness, politicians find footholds, sorceresses are tested, legends will be born, and kings will fall. Keep your sword close, your wits about you, and follow your creed—if you’re going to stay alive, you’ll need all three.
Dream Hunters (working title)
BOOK OF SHORT STORIES & POEMS
A collaborative book of scary stories
paired with the artwork of Jamie Koala
Nightmares are bred of terror. There is nothing more horrifying than our worst fears come to life in the hours of our unconscious. We are mere watchers, our mind’s eye fixed on the scene before us but unable to move physically or make a different choice which might lead us out of the dream.
This book is a collection of artwork by Jamie Koala which is centered around a macabre dreamscape and the hunters which prowl the deepest parts of our minds. Each piece of art is accompanied by a short story or poem which gives new life (or death) to the fathomless depths and puts you on the edge of your seat.
A tale woven from the threads of the canvas, we hope to capture your attention and your fear like the threads of a dreamcatcher. Sleep tight, watchers. Sweet dreams.
“No matter how hard you fight / You will surrender to the night / And we will wait until you break / Entreating you to never wake”
