Daniel launched his début, “Burning House,” to rave reviews, and swiftly followed with the Lovecraft-inspired “Maldición,” the story of a lone survivor of a desert island plane crash fighting for his life with an ancient predator. Daniel continues to hone his craft with a number of dark titles waiting to hit shelves, including “Mr. Robespierre” and “Devil Kickers" and is also the creator of "The Black Room Manuscripts," an upcoming horror anthology featuring 20 short stories.

He hopes to one day contribute to the Cthulu Mythos. Although hopefully not as a sacrifice.

"I’m not as huge a sci-fi fan as I was when I was a kid, but this really hit the mark with me. Wonderful writing that really does take you away to another world. Daniel Marc Chant’s writing makes it very easy for you to completely lose yourself in this story and enjoy every minute of it."

I wasn't sure what to expect, but I absolutely loved this! It's a sci-fi/fantasy/slightly steampunk adventure tale, starring an intrepid female adventurer, who goes on some pretty fantastic otherworldly adventures. It's like "Journey to the Center of the Earth" meets "Barbarella" meets "Forgotten Realms" meets "Pippi Longstocking" meets "Cosmos." YUSS!!

Mr Chant introduces us to his new heroine, Aimee Bancroft, in this origin novella. Aiming for somewhere between Jules Verne and Flash Gordon he hits the mark spot on with a tale full of mysterious races and fantastical locations. Written in a solid voice that somehow echoes the past masters without becoming a parody of them, this is a great beginning to what will hopefully unfold into an epic adventure. Great fun.
