Horror fantasy books

Hi, I’m Nick.

I’m an author, teacher, and dog parent to my rescue, Peanut. My debut novel is When the Dead Rise, the first book of the upcoming Uvrenmouth universe.

I’ve loved fantasy since I was a kid, and most people will tell you I’m a huge nerd. When lockdown hit, and I couldn’t teach my classes anymore, I decided it was the perfect time to start writing.

Luckily for me, my wife is a book editor, so she helped me turn my draft into an actual horror fantasy book, and I still cannot believe it’s out in the world.

If you love vampires, necromancers, and epic fight scenes (without the dark fantasy romance), my series is for you.

 Do You Love Getting Lost in Fantasy Books?

I love fantasy books with immersive worlds, epic quests, and interesting characters — but the dark fantasy genre is filled with romance stories. I found it hard to get recommendations for gritty, horror fantasy stories without the spice, which is why I started this website.

When The Dead Rise is a combination of Lord of the Rings and The Witcher. It’s got dark magic, sarcastic characters, gore, and plenty of battles. And my goal is to curate a hub of dark fantasy books just like mine.

So, here on my site, you’ll find plenty of fantasy book recommendations, nerdy gift guides, and explorations into myths & legends. If you’re a fantasy nerd like me, I hope you’ll love it here!
