If you ever saw something that you were sure you imagined or heard a sound that no one else did - then you know what it's like to attend a show starring the Novaks. "A magical act so spectacular, it had to be real." An oh so common statement after the Novaks perform. But what if I told you the magic was real? There were no wires, smoke or mirrors... Would you believe me? What if I told you the Novaks weren't a friendly family of magicians, but rather the descendants of the most notorious tribe of criminal sorcerers the underworld has ever seen? Take a trip with the Novaks to the parts of your planet you didn't know existed. Sit in the backseat as they ride through carnage, fight for their freedom, go face to face with their maker and most of all.... 𝓜𝓪𝓴𝓮 𝓜𝓪𝓰𝓲𝓬.

**Featured on DARK FANTASY and ADULT FICTION reading lists** WARNING: EATING OR DRINKING WHILE READING THIS STORY IS HIGHLY INADVISABLE. Once Upon A Time, Good Omens, Monty Python, and Arrested Development had a back-alley three-way and birthed a fairytale. Gerald wasn't supposed to be stuck living seven centuries in the future. He definitely wasn't supposed to be "mentoring" The Dark Lord's progeny in the hopes that she would decide to save the world rather than destroy it. In fact, he wasn't even supposed to be named Gerald (the name of every other male in his family for three hundred years), because everyone assumed a weak-chinned, balding, forgettable man, who was just a magician, could never be who Geraldo The Foreshadower prophesied. But that's what assuming gets you, and here he was saddled with a fate he never asked for, in a time he didn't know, surrounded by people he didn't want to like, and he was out of Firewine AGAIN! The Dark Heir is a darkly satirical tale of assumptions, anti-heroes, and apocalypses, where the road to hell is actually a themed water-park slide covered in slightly less urine than a real one. It drops literary and film references faster than an NYC socialite drops names, and promises endless laughs - including, but not limited to, sad chuckles, guffaws, uncontrollable giggles at inappropriate moments, brays, barks, cackles, snorts, cachinnations, and the occasional howl (though that may be the Welsh Werewolves showing up unannounced). Consider yourself warned... Reviews: "Completely and adorably bonkers," says @floranocturna "Hilarious in every way. Even when I cringed, I laughed," says @LadySapphire2018 Winner of The Trident Awards

Thousands of years ago, the great and powerful city of Atlantis existed in all its full glory on Earth. Today, Atlantis is but a historical ghost and the only remnant of that myth of a lost nation is a girl called Ava, who walks silently among the people of present-day Earth; an enigma, a curse. For Ava Kinski has an undiscovered role in the sullen events that has captured the planet - the arrival of the same unknown invaders from the heavens that destroyed Atlantis a long, long time ago... Caught in the seemingly uncanny events is a Alec Archer and his friends; their worlds colliding with Ava, as they are unknowingly thrust in a quest for the truth that will take them to the legend that is Atlantis and to worlds away in time and space, in a magical universe they never knew existed as they are embroiled in a sinister plot of epic proportions. And the question they all have to ask - is Ava a friend or foe? This is the untold story of Atlantis. Please note this work is raw and unedited so sorry for the many mistakes. This is an original work, not a fan fiction, nothing to do with Aquaman, Disney's Atlantis or Stargate. Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to any photos/ media used on here

Twenty years passed in silence since the Kingdom of Niron had stretched throughout the Far North from the Emerald Sea to the North Peaks. Armies of the remnant Kingdom ravage the woods mercilessly but the winds of change have begun to blow their cold breath through the Elderwood trees.

Alone with the sole surviving companion, a girl by the name of Mira, Godric is left to discover the cold truth in the woods of Niron. Alone, that is, until taken captive by a mysterious band of travelers that promise to unearth the truth about the forgotten kingdom.

Fall semester. 1997. At a strange Southern college, freshman Tim's eerily prescient Student Handbook tells him he's going to fall in love with 6'6" sophomore Joanie. But Joanie has more important things to deal with than a weird crush - like a creepy English professor, a hallucinogenic drug that's chipping away at her sanity, and a war between rival secret societies that could destroy the University before Tim and Joanie find out if their love is real, or just fiction. Recommended if you like: impossible architecture, books that can tell the future, made-up games with overcomplicated rules, portentous graffiti, secret codes, first love, intense hallucinations, 80s and 90s pop culture, a world that's just a couple degrees off from reality, and a coming-of-age story set in a manufactured community that lets you try on different possible futures - aka college. New chapters of The Boy in the Tunnel post every Friday.
