In Gunmetal Gods, the shrines of the holy city of Zelthuriya were carved into the mountains by djinn. The lore is inspired by Petra, an ancient city that has always stirred my imagination. Here is the "Holy Zelthuriya" map by for the Elder Epoch Ultimate Edition!

Now that's some fookin awesome art, and it's for the first ever Gunmetal Gods short story, "The Salt Apostle". Read it and more in Grimdark Magazine Issue 44! Link is in the comment below! ⬇️

An amazing unboxing video of the Conqueror's Blood Ultimate Edition. Thanks so much, @hyrulebalverine.bsky.social !

The Elder Epoch Ultimate Edition launches in 7 days, and I STILL have much to reveal. So let's get to it. Here is "Valley of Fire" by Hazem Ameen, whose art has been a pillar of these editions. There's not much I have to say whenever I reveal his work -- just look at it.

As a horror/dark fantasy author, my greatest joy is coming up with the most dread-inducing ideas imaginable. My second greatest joy is seeing them depicted. I give you "Saint Death" by Andrew Maleski (this is one of my all time faves). 12 days to go!

@zamakhtar.bsky.social It finally came in

When I want a battle scene from the Gunmetal Gods Saga brought to life, there is one man I turn to. Omer Burak Onal aced it, once again. I give you "Black Warrior" for the Elder Epoch Ultimate Edition! Follow the campaign at the link below. Two weeks till launch!

Page edges 🤤

Yesterday, tons of Conqueror's Blood Ultimate Editions went out by mail. Let's celebrate with an art reveal for the Elder Epoch Ultimate Edition, which launches on Oct 7. I give you "Basil the Breaker" by Andrew Maleski!

We're going to emboss those eyes. Foil those teeth. Print this baby on nice, thick paper. Rashed Al-Akroka, for the third time, painted a masterpiece for the dust jacket. It's also just so thoroughly Gunmetal Gods.

When From Software want someone to paint the most awesome creatures from their worlds, they turn to Shimhaq. I turn to him, as well. I give you the front endpage of the Elder Epoch (Gunmetal Gods Book 3) Ultimate Edition. Follow the campaign at the link in the comment!

This is an artist at his A-game, standing at his peak, crafting things that have never been done before with abilities unique to him. It belongs in a museum. By Hatem Arafa and for the Elder Epoch Ultimate Edition (link in comment)

It's coming. Go to your calendar and draw a big fat cthulhu on September 30. Link in the comment 👇

My full review of @zamakhtar.bsky.social's brain-melting Dark Drinker (Gunmetal Gods Saga #4) is up at Goodreads. This series is changing my whole perception of reality. By the time it's over, I'll be a wild-eyed madman huddled in an alley muttering gibberish. goodreads.com/review/show/...

2000 of these will be printing soon.

If you received an email from me promising a new novella called "Vows of Gold" then please know that this is not me, but an impersonator. I'm investigating.

The Conqueror's Blood Ultimate Edition bookmarks are sexy as hell

More glorious shots of the Conqueror's Blood Ultimate Collector's Edition!

It's real and it's beautiful.

📖 Dark Drinker by @zamakhtar.bsky.social Enjoyed it thoroughly like all the other ones. The plot is simple but in the overall Gunmetal Gods universe it revealed as much, if not more than all the lore from the first three books. Bombastic fights, lots of heart. Can't wait to see what comes next 💕

Leg obelisk 😂

Started reading this horrific epic last night, and just one chapter was enough to transport me back to this world of djinns and eldritch horrors ⚔️ Conqueror's Blood by @zamakhtar.bsky.social , book 2 of Gunmetal Gods

Going live in 15 minutes with @plstuart-author.bsky.social Come join us! www.youtube.com/watch?v=SCCg...

Just finished a cosmic-horror fantasy short story about finding strength while in the depths of despair, for a secret anthology I can't talked about yet. Very proud of this one!

Official renders direct from the mint for the Gunmetal Gods Golden Dinar, one of the most exciting add-ons from the Kickstarter campaign!

Just finished reading the final volume of Berserk. Holy hell what a wild ride. If there was ever a sister series for Gunmetal Gods, one that shared its themes, grit, and madness-inducing cosmological ideas, it's Berserk.

So glad you enjoyed my horror short story for The Anatomy of Fear, @thelitapothecary.bsky.social! Sorry for any nightmares that may have resulted 😅
