About the author

As the self-proclaimed Mistress of Horror, I am a multi-genre author with a passion for weaving tales that blend elements of horror, dark fantasy, and romance. Known for my slogan, “I am married to all the other genres, but I am the Mistress of Horror,” I specialize in crafting stories that captivate, unsettle, and linger in the reader's mind long after the final page. I have published three other smaller works in the horror and dark romance genre’s. I was published at the age of nineteen and have freelanced with two goth magazines, Carpe Nocturn and Nocturnus.


Being a goth, I’ve always found beauty in the dark and enigmatic, drawing inspiration from shadows and the unknown. Storytelling is not just my passion; it’s my way of exploring the depths of human emotion and the intricacies of the worlds I create. My latest work, Caliostro: Tale of the Lyvirten, is a deeply personal milestone in my journey as an author. It embodies my love for dark fantasy, blending haunting imagery with a narrative that challenges the boundaries of light and darkness.
Every story I write is a piece of my soul, a reflection of my lifelong fascination with the macabre and the magical. My work invites readers to step into the shadows with me, where the eerie becomes beautiful, and the unknown is always waiting to be discovered.

Interesting short story

This was a quick and snappy short story with a lot of twists and turns.
It merges splatterpunk with psychological and supernatural horror in a seamless way.
I wouldn't mind it being longer though.
