Very dark material ahead, may not be suited for some readers.
Cosmic horror is advised.
This my own original work inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. Therefore you may dub this story as being "Lovecraftian" or even fanfiction.
~Story Summary~
This story details the cosmological horrifying events that a Judge by the name of Micheal Grund experiences after losing his eldest son to D-Day, WWII.
He returns to the California Coastal Island town that his son was born in, Moundwater Island.
From there the story delves into depths of astronomical cosmic horror as the cloudy-limbs above descend upon the town and bring about unknowing terror that our simple human minds cannot possibly fathom without a bit of madness breaking us into millions of existential pieces.

Green Unpleasant Land
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.

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 HistoryComplete
