#gothichorror

Writing dark, structured fiction with a focus on historical detail and narrative precision. My work tries to focus on tension derived from authentic settings, archival mechanics, and the psychological impact of atmospheric dread rather than cheap shocks or worn-out tropes.

Currently, I am drafting a historical horror novel structured through sequential folios, beginning with an embedded translator's preface and moving chronologically through the text. The project explores the intersection of translation, historical isolation, and quiet terror.

I create long-form Irish folklore 'creepypasta' stories. Not quick jump-scares, but deeply immersive narratives designed for genuine depth. My work features rich, intricate details and slow-burn storytelling that invites readers into fully realised worlds often using real locations, complete with vivid characters whose voices feel authentic and alive. You'll find layered world-building, genuine emotional resonance, and stories that linger in your mind long after you've finished reading.

I previously shared my work on the Creepypasta Fandom site, but due to their abusive admin practices, I have transferred my work to Nightscribe and will be publishing them here exclusively from now on.
