What does the inside of a broken mind look like? Is it a room frozen in time, a bloody act of artistic expression, or the quiet acceptance of a gruesome fate?
This collection of interconnected tales explores the darkest corners of the human psyche. A man confronts a entity made of his own guilt. An artist seeks the ultimate symmetry in a shocking act of self-mutilation. A prisoner awaits a punishment he designed himself.
Three stories. Three descents into madness. Each a piece of a puzzle about guilt, self-destruction, and the terrifying price of truly seeing oneself. Are these separate souls, or different fractures of the same shattered consciousness?
Enter if you dare, and decide for yourself what lies Beneath Every Lie.
This is for readers who crave the fusion of psychological torment and grotesque body horror, this is not a story about survival. It's about the last real thing I ever felt.

Synopsis: Years after surviving a childhood tragedy, Josh is forced to confront the shadows of his past when he inherits the one place he swore he'd never return to. The walls are filled with silence, but silence does not mean safety. Something mechanical waits in the shadows, patient, and hungry for more than memories. As Josh unravels the truth buried within his family's legacy, the line between dream and reality begins to blur. Nightmares creep into daylight, and no corner offers refuge. The closer he gets to the truth, the harder it becomes to tell if the horror stalking him is from the past... or if it has been waiting for him all along. Some memories are meant to stay buried...
Fractured
Plunge into the murky depths of the human psyche, a descent into the abyss of cosmic horror, and an exploration of the fragile nature of reality itself. The narrative follows a self-proclaimed "keeper of all reality" as they confront a terrifying entity born from the shadows of their own mind - a being woven from forgotten memories and despair. This is not a tale of a simple monster; it's a story of the insidious power of the unconscious, of the atrocities we bury within ourselves, and of the potential for the void to birth something both terrifying and strangely beautiful. Are you ready to face the darkness?Complete
Child Chewer
Innocence is only the first course. The miracle of birth heralds the end of all things. A monster feasts on the most pure. A child is pushed to become a murderer. Bodies transformed beyond recognition. These are the first signs of the end. When an unimaginable horror devours the only things that matter in Carson Chambers's life, he is set on a path of vengeance across a collapsing America. Theo Temple would do anything to protect his sister, and his grisly acts bind him to a world of growing chaos. They are about to discover their suffering is no accident. It is the opening salvo in a war from beyond comprehension, where ancient gods seek to consume everything in their paths. The only way to fight a universe that masticates the very concept of meaning itself is to become the very monsters one fears. A brutal journey through a war zone of an interdimensional scale. A body horror epic where one must choose: Be chewed, or become the chewer. How long can your innocence last?
Psychological Fiction Books - TASTE ME SERIES
The Broken Mirror A novel Damien W. Byrnes Prologue: The Shattered Reflection The sky, if that's what it could still be called, looked like torn paper-veins of sickly purple bleeding into black. Mira blinked. The world around her shifted, unfocused, like an old photograph dissolving in water. She had no idea how she ended up here or where "here" even was. She felt as though she had been dropped into a nightmare she couldn't wake from, where time crawled like a wounded animal. Her reflection in the cracked glass before her didn't feel right. The face was hers, but not hers. The eyes looked haunted, like something had gnawed at her soul and left only fragments behind. And as the world around her crumbled, so did she. --- Copyright 2024 Damien W. Byrnes All rights reserved.

Remembrance (A RusAme Fan-Fiction)
"Understanding the mystics of this world is a truly difficult task. Isn't it? There's evil, and there's good. There's ruthlessness, and there is mercy. There is love, and then there is hate. But one fact remains, the evil were once good. The ruthless were once merciful. And the hatred was once burning passion. So what made them change? And more importantly, what even is the difference between them, if deep inside, we're all truly the same?" [!!Art in the cover belongs to me. Do not steal!!] [Not everything in the fanfiction may be historically accurate]
