Scott Austin Tirrell loves dark speculative fiction, conjuring isolated worlds where ancient mysteries, the raw power of nature, and the paranormal entwine. His work is steeped in the arcane, drawing from the forgotten corners of history and the unsettling grasp of the supernatural.

He has self-published eight books, with Koen set to come out in 2025 under Grendel Press. Residing in Boston with his wife, he draws inspiration from the region’s haunted past and spectral folklore. Scott invites readers to step beyond ...more

Jezelle: Thief of Forks is here!

Today, Jezelle: Thief of Forks steps into the world.

This book has lived with me for a long time (writing began in early March of last year, so over a year ago), and today I finally get to place it into the world.

Jezelle began for me with an image I could not shake: a father holding his daughter’s hand and leading her toward a terrible fate. There was something in that moment that struck me deeply.

Scott Tirrell liked Freya Pickard's review of The Mourning Son: Journey to Dis - An Epic Dark Fantasy (Absolution of the Morning Star Book 2): "This is Dark Fantasy with a Difference!
