Via Malorum II
|
Historical Drama
n the frozen shadows of Rome’s Appian Way, December 25th, 19 CE, a four-year-old prodigy walks among the mourners, her heart untouched by grief. Julia Agrippina, born with a mind sharper than any gladius and a soul devoid of fear, sees her father’s funeral not as an end, but a beginning. In a world of snarling mobs and scheming kin, she learns the first lessons of power: to deceive, to kill, to outmaneuver. Guided by the cunning Sejanus and shadowed by the wild-eyed Messalina, Agrippinilla navigates a labyrinth of betrayal where every ally hides a dagger. As winter’s chill cloaks The Eternal City, whispers of poison and treachery swirl around her family’s throne. The Prophet’s warnings echo faintly, but for a child who embraces, fate is merely a game to be won. Via Malorum II plunges deeper into Rome’s heart of vice, where ambition is a blade that cuts both ways. A chilling prequel to the visceral saga, this tale of a psychopath’s genesis blends Stoic wisdom with blood-soaked intrigue. In the war of all against all, who will rise when the snow falls red?

The Magician
|
Gothic Horror
In Edwardian Paris, brilliant surgeon Arthur Burdon is engaged to beautiful Margaret Dauncey, accompanied by her loyal friend, artist Susie Boyd. They encounter enigmatic Oliver Haddo—a wealthy, obese occultist claiming alchemical mastery. Haddo, inspired by Aleister Crowley, seduces and marries Margaret, drawing her into depravity. While Arthur remains blind, Susie spies Haddo’s true nature: tentacled astral projections, ritual abuse, and experiments creating daemonic homunculi fed on virgin blood. Margaret descends into addiction and submission. Susie, contemptuous of weakness, murders to steal Haddo’s forbidden texts, performs blood rituals, and binds young Oswald Pendleton as lover and disciple through explicit sex magick. This modern revision of this classic pot-boiler is a more hardcore, horrifying, and twisted take on this tale. |
The Great God Pan
|
Gothic Horror
In 1894, the veil between worlds was torn open by a scalpel. Dr. Raymond’s forbidden experiment was supposed to grant enlightenment. Instead, it birthed something ancient, beautiful, and ravenous, a young woman who would become the living vessel of the Great God Pan. When Dr. Raymond slices open a young woman’s brain to “lift the veil,” he doesn’t free enlightenment, he unleashes the daughter of Pan. Beautiful, merciless, and hungry for worship, Mary Helen Vaughan turns London’s glittering underworld into her playground of ecstasy and slaughter. Graphic, atmospheric, and merciless, this is The Great God Pan as you’ve never seen it, a savage collision of cosmic horror and Victorian pulp that drags the oldest evil screaming into the gaslight. Brutal, relentless, and dripping with cosmic dread, this expanded reimagining of Arthur Machen’s classic fuses Victorian weird fiction with raw, unflinching body horror. In a world where science has awakened the oldest evil, some veils should never be lifted. This is not for the squeamish.
