    Have you ever wondered what would happen if someone from a Lovecraftian world got isekai'd into another world built on Lovecraftian themes? Well, it's absolute chaos. Meet Alaric, a human(questionably) survivor of the madness and chaos caused by a certain crawling chaos, who, thanks to the kindness of a certain bubble daddy, got isekai'd into a "fake it till you make it" world. What will he do in this strange new world? Climb the ladder of power to become that impossible god unless you're just a pawn of a certain Russian priest or a certain goth mommy? Or become a Cheshire cat, leaping onto a 4D chessboard to disrupt the schemes and mind games of these bizarre folks? For Alaric, it's not a tough choice. But before he picks either path, he must, of course, uphold the time-honored tradition of isekai'd victims(questionably) that forms the foundation of this world. What's that tradition? Keeping a diary. --- [Alaric's Transmigration Diary] [Day 1: I encountered Amon. Used a special technique to summon a projection of the Ancient Sun God, who personally delivered a heavy slap to Amon. Hope Amon appreciates this weighty paternal affection.] [Day 2: I received an invitation from the Aurora Order. Told them I want it all... looks, brains, and combat prowess... and invited them to join my newly founded Joker Club.] [Day 3: I met Leonard and acknowledged Gramps Pallez. Declined Leonard's enthusiastic suggestion for the old man to move in with me, as I'd rather not have a old man critiquing my every move, even in private moments.] [Day 4: I told Klein I plan to pray to a deity named The Fool. Watched his eyes widen in shock and kindly offered him some eye drops.] [Day 5: I listened to Medici perform a two-hour comedy routine. Suggested he go professional and invited him to share a meal.] . . . [Day 666: I fully absorbed a certain crawling chaos fragment within me. From now on, I am the Fifth Pillar.]

    Nikolai dies instantly when a nuclear blast atomizes him and everything around him. His consciousness survives the destruction, drifting through spacetime in a torment worse than the death itself, until his body reconstructs atom by atom and he wakes inside a Gothic cathedral. He finds himself sitting in a pew with four other newcomers. A robed woman sings a haunting liturgical hymn at the altar, her words soaked in despair, resentment, and nihilism. One of the newcomers, Takeshi, suspects she is some kind of guide or goddess and nudges Nikolai to approach her. Nikolai does, asking where they are. The woman's gaze alone forces him and the others to their knees. When Takeshi mutters something flippant, she drags him forward and tears his heart out, breaks his jaw, stuffs the heart down his throat, then rips out his brain and rewires his memory entirely. His body regenerates each time. The other newcomers are forced to watch, unable to move, and fall sick at the sight. Nikolai, hardened by worse, doesn't flinch. Takeshi rises as a psychologically reset person, with no memory of what just happened. The robed woman looks at them all and delivers a cold, sardonic welcome, telling them their lives are only just beginning.

    Gravenwood is a small American port town founded in the late 1800s, where the forest presses too close and the sea never rests easy. Built along a cold, black-water inlet, the town grew around its lumber mill and shipping docks. By 1923, it counted just over four hundred residents - fishermen, dockworkers, mill hands, widows, drifters, and those who arrived by boat and never quite left. The harbor is narrow and often swallowed in fog. Ships come in quieter than they should. The tides run strangely strong. Some nights, lantern lights can be seen drifting far out past the breakwater... where no vessels are anchored. Three roads lead into Gravenwood. Only one reliably leads out. The forest surrounding the town is dense, old, and uneven - trees growing twisted, bark scarred as if carved by unseen hands. Locals do not walk beneath them after sundown. The church bell rings at dusk whether someone pulls the rope or not. Gravenwood is not large enough to be famous. But it is small enough to keep secrets. Each tale focuses on a character that has been created by a viewer from my Twitch stream. Together we weave a world of mystery and horror.

    AIITBS is a story inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, starting in Boston Massachusetts in the year 1934. It starrs young scholar and occultist Nathaniel Butler, of the obscenely wealthy Butler family, who's dealings in magic and alchemy force him into misadventures of the certainly eldritch variety. This story is quite a ways from being finished but I already have an ending in mind, so I am confident that it will be in time. Please be patient and I hope you have fun while reading!

    The time has come for a new type of human. The year is 3003, and a lone starship crosses a galaxy at war to find an ancient substance. Gabriel Newell, the team leader of intergalactic deep sea saturation divers, confronts his old friends in a new environment as they travel to the mysterious ocean planet, code name A3003, locally called Misery. Meanwhile at home, EarthGov careens over the abyss as its statespeople fight in brutal and relentless cloak-and-dagger politics where no one has any allies. Price Waters, the ambitious and uncontrollable heir of the Water purification dynasty, finds himself tested to his absolute limits as he battles with others and himself to master the fate of the Empire. Lastly, the optimistic outcast Derrick May finds himself thrust into the viper's nest of the Twin Dolphins Palace, the heart of EarthGov, where he is sent to investigate a mysterious crime that proves to have far reaching consequences. Enemies surround an embattled cast who all find themselves repeatedly drawn to one place: that ancient, all-important planet, Misery. This is a story of heroes attacked from all corners, fighting against all the odds, even themselves, to conquer a world of nihilism and forever-wars. Will they triumph against the silence of the cosmos? Or will the void swallow them whole?

    Dungover is a small, quiet village in rural Ireland. A place where everyone knows everyone, where life moves slowly, and where little ever changes. Mary Jane Seymour lives there with her husband, in a careful, fragile routine. She longs for a child, for meaning, for something to finally take root in her life. But the village offers few answers, and fewer futures. When a new doctor settles into the long-abandoned house next door, the community welcomes him with relief and gratitude. At last, there is medical care again. At last, help. Slowly, things begin to change. Old wounds heal. Desires awaken. Bodies grow stronger, stranger, more fertile. What first feels like renewal soon reveals another side. Beneath the calm surface of Dungover, something ancient stirs. Something generous. Something hungry. As the village transforms, Mary Jane begins to suspect that the cure may be worse than the illness-and that some gifts come at a high cost. The Black Goat Tonic is a novel of quiet dread and creeping corruption, where faith, family, and the human body become gateways to something vast, inhuman, and impossibly patient.

    Here I was just experimenting with writing cosmic horror from the first person perspective through use of a journal entry. Though there is no major narrative, the main exploration was simply what becomes of the human mind once it touches the unimaginable. I apologize if it is confusing, I know it will likely be. Because of laziness, the story did not reach its most ideal form. Regardless, I enjoyed writing it a great deal and personally loved the style it embodies. I do hope you will enjoy it.

    Hieronymus Jones was a strange boy, a hair past fifteen, tall and pale with jet black hair, dark brown eyes and a very peculiar kind of mind. If he was not the smartest thing on the planet, he was a very close second. He had secrets, dark and terrible, wonderful and pure. Secrets of hidden worlds with lost people, that were not entirely human. Most unusually, he held secrets... of magic.When Hieronymus Jones saw Gertrude Green for the first time, he sat up a little straighter in his seat. She was an odd girl with a smattering of freckles across her pale skin, impossibly red hair and perfect green eyes. She too had secrets. Together they would discover a connection to each other, far deeper than either could have imagined. Mysterious pendants, evil twisted mounds of monstrous flesh and school bullies are one thing, but when a small unimpressed squid makes a nest in Hieronymus's cup of tea, something clearly needs to be done. Honestly, this is TEA we are talking about, don't these creatures have any manners?The first book in a fantasy romance series, awash with bleeding edge technology, magic, humor and hideous tentacle laden, Lovecraftian nightmares, that are coming to kill the world... woot.
