[Currently Querying]

For readers drawn to mythic horror, fractured realities, emotionally driven speculative fantasy, and stories where monsters are never the most dangerous thing in the room.

A demon walks into a café to strike a deal with a wandering magician.

To secure Seth’s allegiance, the demon Hal tells the story of four survivors haunted by a magical catastrophe and drawn into the Chrome — a fractured mirror-world where Slavic myths become monsters and every failure unleashes disaster in reality.

At the center of the story is Ulrich, a brilliant physicist consumed by guilt and willing to sacrifice everything to undo the past. But as Hal weaponizes each revelation to manipulate his listener, the story begins unraveling the demon himself.

A DEAL FOR THE DAMNED is an adult speculative fantasy blending Slavic folklore, psychological horror, multiversal mystery, and emotionally driven dark fantasy — framed as a dangerous wager told over coffee.
