  Michael Holland is a grim reaper working the worst beat in the worst town. Michael’s best friend is a pot-smoking tooth fairy, his boss is the angel of death, his psychiatrist can read his mind, and he counts bogeymen, demons, and clones as his acquaintances.His nine-to-five is a succession of stupidity, clearing up the remains of the latest Darwin Award winner or dealing with the detritus of some apocalyptic clerical error, and it only seems to be getting worse. Michael is as equally disillusioned with death as he was with life, but at least life made more sense.In Forever After, Michael starts to question whether his immortality is really worth having. He sees clueless souls cross over every day, and battling confused succubi, tormented psychopaths, evil henchmen, and even a demon who thinks he’s Santa Claus is getting boring. Is there something more exciting for this grim reaper to do in this sad little town? This darkly humorous novel is set in a fantasy world that exists parallel to ours—a world where anything is possible, very little makes sense, and nothing is as it seems.

  The Demon of the Grimsel Pass

  High in the Swiss Alps, beneath the pressure of the Rhône and Aletsch glaciers, something older than religion and colder than death has been held in silence for millennia. When a climate research team drills too deep into the ice at Grimsel Pass, they do not uncover a relic or a beast. They puncture a linguistic prison. Deep below the station lies a sealed chamber ringed by the preserved dead, and beneath waits the Namenfresser, the Name-Eater, an ancient logic that does not simply kill. It edits. It strips away the fences of identity and replaces the human world with an older, harsher draft. 
  At the center stands Dr. Eva Haldimann, a linguist brought to the pass to interpret whatever the drill might expose. What begins as a scientific anomaly becomes a metaphysical breach. The chief driller returns barefoot from the glacier speaking impossible words. Audio files begin behaving like executable code. Dead syntax infects speech, memory, and machine systems. Maps redraw themselves. Paths change. Men walk into terrain that no longer matches the world they thought they knew. As Eva pushes deeper into the old grammar beneath the mountain, she realizes the true horror of the pass: the entity below does not conquer by force alone. It recruits through interpretation, rewarding the exact kind of mind trained to admire pattern and precision. 
  What follows is alpine cosmic horror fused with philological terror, buried history, and catastrophic recursion. The Demon of the Grimsel Pass is a novel about language as contagion, memory as a defensive wall, and the nightmare of discovering that reality itself can be revised by something older than the human need for names. By the final movement, the struggle narrows to a sealed chamber beneath the glacier, where Beat Gasser and Eva confront the surviving logic of the breach and learn that containment will demand more than survival. It will demand sacrifice at the level of identity itself.

  In a world choked by deep-earth horrors, humanity’s only salvation is built upon a foundation of eternal, conscious torture. 
  Master Architect Conrad Campbell has dedicated his life to designing towering fortresses of pale bone-stone and dark iron, creating grand sanctuaries to protect the realm. To power the holy wards, the ruling clergy provides him with "mindless" beasts—humans transformed into living weapons through an agonizing alchemical sacrament. But when Conrad discovers an anomaly in the dungeons—a colossal, newly transformed guardian named Aelwen who still possesses her fully human mind—his rigid, uncompromising reality violently collapses. The church has lied. The souls of the innocent are entirely awake inside their monstrous flesh, forced to bear the crushing weight of the cathedral’s arches for centuries. 
  Consumed by profound guilt, Conrad makes a terrifying vow: he will completely destroy his life's work. With his fiercely ambitious apprentice moving to usurp him and claim the glory of completing the cathedral, Conrad must orchestrate the ultimate betrayal. He will use his own downfall as the perfect distraction to sabotage the load-bearing keystones, ensuring his towering monument becomes a shattered tomb rather than a permanent slaughterhouse. 
  Fans of grimdark, intricate world-building, and architectural horror will devour this unique Dark Fantasy masterpiece. It masterfully weaves moral ambiguity, gothic suspense, and an unforgettable anti-hero redemption arc into a cinematic listening experience. 
  Written and narrated by John Newbill, this audiobook delivers an atmospheric, deeply immersive performance that brings the raw emotional weight and gritty terror of the Cathedral of Unquiet Flesh directly to your ears.

  We sit. We lie. We wait. We are examined. We are left alone.  Emotions fritter.  The door re-opens.  The face. Is it tinged with sadness or reassuring and open?  The words.  Are they easy to comprehend?  Is it good news or bad?  We can answer that. It’s bad. Undeniably bad.  None of our authors have good news for you. The diagnosis?  You already know that. Death.
