About the author

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 American frontier.

Across genres and eras, his novels return to the same obsession: the unseen forces—political, spiritual, or arcane—that shape our lives, whether or not we choose to notice them.
