Chaunce Stanton is an American novelist whose work blends occult thriller, alternate history, and myth with a literary touch. His newest novel, The Angelus Key (2025), explores the hidden convergences between Hermetic ritual and modern technology, where ancient societies of magicians wage quiet wars that reach into our digital age.

Stanton has long been drawn to the margins of history, where forgotten lore and conspiracy overlap. His earlier novel The Blank Slate Boarding House for Creatives (2013) imagines 1922 New York as the battleground for rival masters of “mind magic,” including Harry Houdini. Grave of Songs (2020) unearths 19th-century Minnesota as a landscape of myth and buried secrets, weaving conspiracy and family tragedy into the

Christmas with the ANGELUS KEY

Why I Wrote Snowfall on Miracles & GhostsChaunce Stanton Christmas story from the world of The Angelus Key: Snowfall on Miracles and Ghosts.

For as long as I can remember, I’ve loved Christmas.

Not the shopping-mall version with frantic parking lots and canned music on repeat, but the quieter Christmas that happens in the margins: late walks in the cold, the way light spills from a window onto the snow, the odd mixture of memory and expectation that hangs in the air on Christmas Eve. It has alway

“Either we're making the world a better place or we're making it a better place for parking lots.”
Chaunce Stanton

“You were born into a state of grace. It is impossible for you to leave it. You will die in a state of grace whether or not special words are spoken for you, or water or oil is poured upon your head. You share this blessing with the animals and all other living things. You cannot fall out of grace, nor can it be taken from you. You can ignore it. You can hold beliefs that blind you to its existence. You will still be graced but unable to perceive you own uniqueness and integrity, and blind also to other attributes with which you are automatically gifted.”
Jane Roberts, The Nature of Personal Reality: Specific, Practical Techniques for Solving Everyday Problems and Enriching the Life You Know

“Either we're making the world a better place or we're making it a better place for parking lots.”
Chaunce Stanton

“For my part, I prefer my heart to be broken. It is so lovely, dawn-kaleidoscopic within the crack.”
D.H. Lawrence
