Ananth Van Der Lekh is a curator of unusual tales, blending intricate world-building with sharp wit and engaging narratives. Van Der Lekh weaves deeply immersive, interconnected fantasy worlds that explore the human condition through complex characters, layered plots, and often humorous undertones. His works defy traditional genre boundaries, effortlessly blending elements of epic fantasy, philosophical scifi, and dark comedy.

As the mind behind the *Tullgotha* universe, Van Der Lekh has developed twin threads of satirical fantasy, where unlikely heroes stumble through darkly comic adventures; and mind-bending dream-sci-fi where the line between reality and digital life blurs beyond recognition.

Free Cognitive Dissonance Delivered Regularly

Each chapter is like staring into an abyss that watches back. Watch as each of this colourful cast of characters, one-by-one, loses all hope of meaning.


Side Quests That Have Little to Do with the Main Quest, or Anything at All

This is a world where detours are part of the destination. From impromptu debates about trifles to frivolous wordplay and inept verbal gymnastics about life lessons from lettuces - there's frequently a dull moment.


For Footnotes Into Rabbit Holes of Revelatory Nonsense

Van Der Lekh's footnotes and endnotes are mini stories in themselves, tangents on the meaning of life, or at least, the merits of boar's face flagons.


Because Following Ananth Van Der Lekh Might Just Be a Quest of Its Own

Every click or flick of a page is a surprise, where you never know what bizarre twist awaits you. It does all make perfect sense in the end. At least Ananth says it does.



Incidentally, his name happens to mean something about monkeys.
