    The Final Testimony of John Fullen The last words and statements regarding the Expedition of 806's sole survivor, now residing in Creekford Asylum. 'What horrors could drive a man insane?' These were the same thoughts of the public when the news broke that John Fullen had come back to the realm of the living. The Mad Druid Blackhearst known for its proximity to both the Order of Light and the Mistveil shrouded in mystery, has also been afflicted by the presence of a Mad Druid in their midst. Adjudicator Sean Crownhammer is sent to investigate the doings and evidence against the Druid in light of their recent burning. The Border Provinces are known to be more lawless than the core of the Realms of Men, but justice must be found fairly lest we become wolves in sheep's clothing.

    Short Synopsis Green Unpleasant Land Fog shrouded Victorian London, but not the 1888 we'd recognise. There's a whiff of revolution in the air, not to mention lycanthropy in the shires. As Mr Eiffel's tower nears completion in Hyde Park, famed Egyptologist Sir Percy Tiverton returns with his latest find - a nameless book so mysterious not even the Royal College of Alchemists can decipher its runes. Alexander Faversham is England's foremost champion of derring-do, but his legend is built on sand. Loyal-to-a-fault manservant Bill might know more about his master's heroics than either are letting on. When the nameless book is stolen, Bill's entanglement threatens to bring his carefully constructed façade crashing down. There's something nasty lurking in the shadows and it wants its book back. Who would dare confront the tentacles slithering from the sewers? When the Empire needs a hero, it doesn't always get the one it expects. 80k words Gothic/Cosmic Horror/Alt History

    This is a collection of short stories which I'm currently putting together to explore a cosmic horror setting that's been ruminating in my mind for a long time. The Panopticon of Babel has heavy Catholicism references and is primarily written in the first person. I will also note that I (the author) am fairly new to sharing my writing online and am currently an engineering student so updates may be few and far between. I will try and get chapters out in a somewhat timely manner, but no promises.
