🌒 Welcome to the Vale of Shadows
The stories here are soft-spoken until they scream.

I'm Rowan Vale - I write what lingers.

Across horror, fantasy, and queer coming-of-age, my stories explore the spaces between silence and survival. The monsters you kiss. The gods you defy. The grief that never left your bones. I believe in slow healing, sacred ruin, tenderness after violence. And in boys who touch like they're trying not to break.

Sometimes my writing is lyrical. Sometimes brutal. Always intimate.
Updates happen daily, sometimes frantically. I write across genres but carry the same obsessions:

✦ magic and memory
✦ obsession and identity
✦ trauma and tenderness
✦ worship and wounds
✦ boys who love other boys and never say it aloud

Here, you'll find haunted worlds and haunted hearts. I hope you stay.
