FracturedRealms has always been drawn to the darker side of storytelling-the spaces where sadness, isolation, and fear live just beneath the surface. Influenced by the works of Edgar Allan Poe and H. P. Lovecraft, Jacob Ames finds inspiration in the unsettling and the unknown, where reality bends and the lines between the real and the imagined blur.
Writing has been a personal escape, a way to make sense of feeling like an outsider, of not belonging. In these darker, more somber stories, Jacob Ames explores themes of alienation, fear, and the things that haunt us from within.
Shadows of the Heart reflects this sensibility, blending supernatural mystery with the weight of guilt, isolation, and the search for redemption in a world that often feels indifferent.
Shadows of the Heart is his first novel, with more to come from the quiet, darker corners of imagination.
