Just finished reorganizing my (very) bare bones website ahead of what I'm hoping will be a prolific 2026 on the writing front. I have five stories out now, all available for free in pdf format on my website:
https://theironchronicle.com/pay-what-you-want/
Each story is a bite-sized vignette set in the same world; think H.P. Lovecraft meets Mary Poppins. A little bit horror, a little bit humor, and slice-of-a-very-different-kind-of-life. Post a review (good or bad!) and send me a DM, I'll send you a physical copy (until I run out) of one of the books as a thank you--they all have beautiful covers, hand-painted by my friend Parris Ryan, a trans artist from Philadelphia.
A quick blurb on each:
The Dark Feast (my personal favorite)

A quick blurb on each:
The Dark Feast (my personal favorite)
All manner of danger stalks the woods and wilderness of Grimsby's Hollow, and the living stars of the night sky are always hungry for prayers that they might answer. Eight years old, Evelyn is as wild and ferocious as the far, dark country of the north--relying on her own quick wit and her mother's teachings for protection.
The Bug Lady of Volgstadt
An action-packed adventure full of laughs and chills, with a monster-of-the-week that'll gnaw your face off. Evelyn Grimsby and her companion, Aloysius Wulf, descend into the bowels of Volgstadt in pursuit of the weird and unknown. Mayhem! Explosions!
The Pigboy Affair
With a winter storm on the horizon, Evelyn Grimsby and her compatriot, Aloysius Wulf, travel to the city of Vastengrad in order to investigate the disappearance of a war hero's son. It's blood in the snow with death's shadow at every turn as they come face to face with star-spawned horrors and the madmen who worship them.
The Incident with the Pirate
Theodore Vale, Molly Whit, and the crew of Red Shadow have been trapped in the wrong world for six years, desperate to find a way home. Now, fate has handed Captain Vale an opportunity to see his wife and daughter again, but to do so he must cross a witch, make a deal with an ancient power, and confront a horror from the depths of the sea.
A Strange Penance
A night of serious drinking ends in horrific violence and Sebastien Pitt finds himself clapped in irons, bound property of the 43rd Expeditionary Army. A Strange Penance is a darkly comic tale of not-quite-victorian horror; Candide collides with H.P. Lovecraft to explore the nature of penance, prayer, and transformation.
