Malice and Other Dark Offerings
Step into a world where the ordinary twists into the grotesque, and the line between the living and the restless is thinner than you dare imagine.
In Malice and Other Dark Offerings, nothing is safe from transformation: a rusted wrecking yard hides gods beyond comprehension, a simple burglary awakens a house hungry for vengeance, and unseen forces twist flesh, mind, and reality itself.
Bound by animism, ruin, and cosmic horror, each story drags you across the threshold where human and inhuman blur-into haunted spaces, cursed bargains, and nightmares that refuse to end.
Dare to enter... and you may never see the world the same way again.
