When Magic Stops Asking and Starts Taking
When Magic Stops Asking and Starts Taking
What if magic wasn’t gentle? What if it didn’t care about rules, fairness, or who got hurt—as long as it was fed? Goreglyphs of the Boiling Deep was born from that question. This story doesn’t begin with heroes or hope. It begins with a man who wants answers so badly that he’s willing to carve them into his own skin. Beneath the Boiling Isles, something ancient wakes up, and it doesn’t speak in words. It speaks in hunger.
In this world, glyphs aren’t drawn on paper. They’re carved into bone. They don’t work unless blood is spilled. As the sea grows calm, the land grows violent, and Philip Whittebane slowly realizes that magic has always demanded a price—he just found the version that tells the truth about it. Every spell costs something. Every choice takes a piece of him. And once the magic learns his name, it never lets go.
This is not a cozy fantasy. It’s dark, gothic, and deeply psychological. It’s about obsession, transformation, and what happens when survival replaces morality. Philip doesn’t fall into darkness by accident—he walks into it with his eyes open, believing knowledge is worth any cost. By the time he understands what he’s becoming, it’s already too late.
Goreglyphs of the Boiling Deep is coming soon. If you love horror that crawls under your skin, stories that linger in your thoughts, and worlds where magic is beautiful because it’s terrifying—this book was written for you.
