The start of a new year always feels like stepping into the mist—uncertain, shrouded in possibility, and laced with just enough dread to keep things interesting. While others are busy penning resolutions and clinking champagne glasses, I find myself drawn to the quieter moments, where the veil feels thinner and the whispers of stories yet to be told are louder.
This year, my stories will dig deeper into the cracks of what we see and what we fear. The haunted places we avoid. The myths we half-remember but refuse to repeat aloud. The chaos we can’t help but crave. These are the spaces I want to explore in my writing—and bring you along for the journey.
The Stories We Need
Darkness gets a bad reputation, but isn’t it where the most interesting stories begin? The ghost at the edge of the forest. The cursed artifact no one dares to touch. The stranger who knows more about you than they should. These aren’t just tales to be told—they’re truths we bury in metaphor and shadow.
I want to tell those truths this year. To take the darkness and shape it into something beautiful, terrifying, and unforgettable.
What’s Coming in 2025
Without giving too much away (where’s the fun in that?), here’s a glimpse into the stories I’ll be breathing life into this year:
- A tale of a haunted island, where the dead walk not to scare, but to warn.
- A reimagining of an ancient Scottish myth, where betrayal and blood are the currency of power.
- A novella exploring the fine line between faith and fear, set in a village where prayers go unanswered and rituals demand sacrifice.
Each of these stories carries a piece of me—and, I hope, a piece of you too.
The Invitation
This isn’t just about me spinning tales in the dark. I want to know what haunts you. What myths, fears, or forgotten whispers linger in the back of your mind? Drop them in the comments, and maybe they’ll find their way into one of my stories. Or maybe, just maybe, they’ll spark something in you.
The new year is here, and the shadows are waiting. Let’s walk into them together.
I love your stories and I haven't even read them yet, such beautiful darkness and intrigue! I love stories of the occult, of the mystery associated with the afterlife, of possession and poltergeists, and how often we invite the negative in without realizing it. Can't wait to see what you discover out there...
