NOVELLA

Dark Fantasy / Folk Horror


“A tight, atmospheric descent into an ancient and haunted liminal space for a confrontation with the monstrous.”

Eldric has spent his life hunting wolves. When a wealthy duke offers him a small fortune to lead a ceremonial par force hunt, Eldric cannot refuse—the payment could bring the right physician to his gravely ill wife. The hunt, however, is to take place in an ancient and sacred forest the superstitious northern clans call Wulfwoode.


With his fourteen-year-old son, Wyllan, at his side, Eldric leads the duke’s party beneath the trees. But wolves are not the only creatures moving through the mist, and the forest obeys laws far older and stranger than those of any king. Soon the hunters are scattered, the path home has vanished, and something uncanny has awakened within the forest.


Now Eldric must find Wyllan before the many unearthly dangers of Wulfwoode claim him—and learn whether a man who has spent his life killing can ever escape the beast within.

DARK MYTHOLOGY

A CODEX OF WEREWOLF LEGENDS AND LORE


Beastform is a visceral, carefully curated compendium of werewolf mythology—braiding together historical accounts, academic examinations, psychological inquiry, and reimagined tales from the long shadow of the lycanthropic tradition.

Drawing from rare public‑domain texts, translated sources, and centuries of folklore, this codex traces the werewolf across cultures and epochs. Inside you’ll encounter everything from the infamous account of Peter Stubbe to anthropological theories of shapeshifters, from the classic treatises of Rev. Montague Summers and Sabine Baring‑Gould to Golden Era werewolf tales of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The collection even ventures into documented cases of clinical lycanthropy—moments where pathology and myth converge, blurring the boundary between the psychological and the supernatural.

Alongside these restored historical materials, the volume includes original work from author‑curator Liam Keith, expanding the mythos with contemporary depth and imagination:

  • New introductions that frame each section with mythic resonance and psychological insight
  • Summaries of historical events that shaped the werewolf myth, from the Bronze Age wolfing warrior-bands to the werewolf trials of medieval Europe—and beyond.
  • “Shadow Beast,” a depth‑psychology essay exploring the werewolf as an archetype of repression, instinct, and the unintegrated self

These additions transform Beastform from a simple folklore collection into a living document—one that examines why the werewolf has stalked the human imagination for centuries, and what it reveals about the wildness we carry within.

Whether you’re drawn to folklore, history, depth psychology, or dark fiction, Beastform offers a complete and compelling portrait of the werewolf mythos—one that both honors its origins and reawakens its primal power.

EARLY WORKS

Below is a selection of short stories from early in my writing journey. Like an amateur boxer, my combinations were crude and my footwork a little clunky, but I had a hell of a lot of heart and hunger.

It’s not customary for an author to show his early efforts to the world, but I believe there’s richly mythic material in these artifacts. They’re the raw strata of a voice still forming—unpolished, instinctive, and whispering of something it couldn’t yet name.

The world never saw the canvases Caravaggio tore to shreds on his way to mastery, nor the countless typed pages James Joyce tossed into the bin before finishing Ulysses. But I can look back on my own early attempts with fascination and humility, able to sense the mythic heart of my work in its primordial state.

The technical ability in these pieces is respectable, but nowhere near my current level—simply because practice, time, and devotion refine the craft. Still, the pulse of what would become my mythic voice is already here, beating beneath the chrysalis.

KASPIAN TEA

A SHORT STORY (2012)

A strange, indulgent, fever dream of a short story. Equal parts Alice in Wonderland and acid trip, Kaspian Tea is a stream-of-consciousness piece of prose that is either rife with spiritual symbolism, or potentially complete nonsense—you decide.

DARK GLASS PROTOCOL

A DARK SCI-FI SHORT STORY (2019)

Nielson and his team must conduct a delicate operation alongside the powerful machine, placing their fates in the hands of the engineers who designed the “perfect soldier”.

DEAD GODS

A MYTHIC SHORT STORY (2019)

“Dead Gods” was written years before I understood the mythic patterns that now shape my work. At the time, I thought I was simply telling a strange tale about fallen giants and a frightened tribe. Only later—through depth psychology and mythic study—did I realize the story was really about the rupture between an animistic world and the arrival of civilization and imposed religion.

Looking back, this piece marks the first emergence of themes that continue through my later writing: the collapse of old cosmologies, the loss of intimacy with the sacred, and the human caught between worlds. The craft here is rougher, the technique less refined, but the underlying resonance was already present.

I’ve left the story mostly untouched so it can stand as an early artifact of the voice I would eventually grow into.
