  1. The Terrorsaur Badlands Series Finale

    For eleven articles I've been building the dinosaur frontier of the Hodgepocalypse.

    Eventually every road led to Drumheller.

    The Hallowed Pit is what happens when the Dinosaur Capital of the World becomes the center of a dinosaur-horror apocalypse.

    And the landscape itself becomes the monster.

  5. 2nd Ombriani Fragment

  6. 1st Ombriani Fragment

    The twin leviathans, born from the twisted rebirth of the Shadow Child.

The sound hums through the water, soft but constant, like something remembering where it belongs.This cycle, the Shadow Child’s family, long accustomed to the transformations of their cursed child, are uncertain.
