The Devil Below (2021) | Adan Canto as Darren Atkins

An Onlooker (2025)

Water splashes, cold and free.

A nightly ritual, just you and me.

Except, I'm hidden, just behind your back.

Watching droplets rise and fall.

Your back is bent, face obscured.

A peaceful scene.

No knowledge, of where I am.

Your eyes are closed tight.

Otherwise I would have been seen.

Soap creates a foamy mask.

A fleeting moment, fading fast.

Here I stand.

Just behind you.

Creature from the Black Lagoon (1954)

[koodless]

Shadowman!! Very creature, very outer space, very good eyeliner

I'd like to think that the first person, who unknowingly, is the one to come close to uncovering Shadow as like an alien form/ organic than a robot, is Magnet Man. Yet Mags doesn't know that he's not a robot, he just thinks he's heavier/ made of different material, what have you.

Comic dialogue if you can't read it, its v scribbly:

Magnet(M): YAY new recruit!

M: Hope you like hugs, I'm pulling you over! (he charges his magnet powers)

Shadow doesn't move, and they both realize it. S is sweating, while Mags just looks at him.

M: huh, you must be made of something heavier!

S(relieved): yeah, something like that...

An American Werewolf in London (1981)

[kanobarlowe]

Looking for a horror about werewolves? Interested in a haunting world of paranoia and fear? Look no further than Brim's Bane, available September 1st!

Available for preorder in paperback here and here, and ebook (dependent on retailer).

Under the full moon's gaze, the beast hunts its prey.

Winter has come to Lake Marryat and the forests on its shores. Samomsyl Holgata toils in a small printshop under the watchful eye of a bitter old man and his burly assistant, yearning for the day he can run the printing press. Sam trudges through bleak mundanity-pining after the local stable girl, isolated from his estranged mother and uncle, not a friend in sight. Desperate for change, for courage, for anything, Sam waits to be given a chance to prove himself worthy of printing books.

When the parchment runs low, Sam is tasked with securing more from a nearby town-despite the warnings of an impending blizzard. Through forest and snow, he journeys into the darkness. The storm strikes, forcing the young apprentice to seek shelter.

With death creeping into the threshold he would make his grave, Sam shudders at the winter's embrace. Then it came. Growling, scratching, gnawing. In the blizzard's shadows, it's there-stalking, biting, gnashing. With infernal claw and fang, with blood-soaked fur, the ravenous wolf arrives.

Entry 5

Inspired by spider silk, spider webs, and dark nights, enjoy this arachnid who’s caught you within his web…

warnings: dead bodies, mentions of poison, spider

Little Fly, Little Fly

Stumbling across uncharted territory within the catacombs of an abandoned church leads to a dead end full of silk webs.

Even if I were to make it out alive, the terror would never leave my mind…

Bodies. That’s what I assumed they were, all wrapped up in some kind of spider’s silk. Or maybe it’s a white cloth.. whatever it is, it looks never ending.

I can’t tell where the rope, string, or thread begins, and the cloth is too obstinate to break or unwind from its form. As if the string was used as a mold to make the victims immobile and suffocate. Almost the perfect kill method if it had not been for some of the ends being frayed. I could see bluish purple skin from what looks like a human’s legs and feet. For all I know, it could’ve been a poisoning before the gift wrapping started.

Just as I had stumbled across this scene, I was hoping I could also disappear from it as quick.

My hands shake the moment I attempt to take a step backwards and realize that I had walked into the sticky vines that wrapped the silk in a tight hold. It doesn’t matter how much I try to kick or shove away the thread, the moment it touched my shoes and the bottom of my pants, I was attached to the entire webbing.

My heart beats so loud in my ears as I’m trying to keep my tears at bay. Looking for any spiders around to crawl onto my clothes, I don’t find any. I thought it was odd. I rationalized that as long as I’m quiet, I won’t get discovered. If I’m able to keep under the radar like I have been, I should be able to cut away at the webbing and escape. But if there’s no spiders, where did this come from..?

I didn’t count on the creature who made the intricate silk coming to find me.

“Well, well, well.” A deep voice echoes behind me.

My back stiffens from the sound of an overly sweet voice. As husky as the voice was, it seemed to be coated in a sugary syrup.

“What do we have here? Caught in my webs, just waiting to be found,” they whispered in my ear.

Flipping my head around to see who spoke, I gasp in fear before falling backwards in freight.

The person, rather creature— beast! before me was an anomaly. With the entire body of a spider, a black widow at that, is looming over me. Purple eyes blink down at me, almost taunting me to run.

I jerk away from the thrice my size beast, begging someone to come help me. My entire arm was stuck in the spider’s web. It didn’t matter if it was my skin or the clothes I was wearing, there’s no way I could remove myself from the webbing.

A dark chuckle comes from the spider.

“Little Fly, where do you think you’re going? You’re home now.”

and from the depths of winter comes a bit of exciting news:

my next book, LABYRINTHINE SELF, will be coming out on february 21st, 2025!

not monster-fighting, nor monster-fucking, but a far more sinister third thing, LABYRINTHINE SELF is a wintry horror novella with only two characters— Laurel and the Creature— that I truly cannot wait to introduce you to.

"Laurel is determined to go on an impulsive camping trip in Mosswood Grove this January. They don't know much about camping, but they do know they need some time away, alone, with only themself for company. A solitary being already, Laurel knows there are worse things in this world than a brief break from it all. As their senses slip away, though, and the woods become an inescapable labyrinth, and a great Creature stalks them through the trees, Laurel must determine whether this hunted, endless purgatory is their worst nightmare or their dream come true."

watch this space for the cover reveal, updates on pre-orders for ebook, paperback, and hardcover, and so much more to come for my tenth (!!) book, LABYRINTHINE SELF.

Her (2025)

Hinges creak, a whispered dawn. Something watches. A crack in the door, ever so slight.

Eyes of veiled shadow. A mouth unseen, a void. I cannot look away. She lurks, behind the wood. Until the end. Do I dare to move?

She knows all my fears. Is it real, or dream? The crack expands, and darkness breathes. I fear that I must blink...

Poor Hadar is going through it! Commission for the ever awesome @charleecat-bat of her boy Hadar transforming into a spider beast. I actually finished this piece a while back and I guess I completely forgot to upload it here oops. But I had such a great time with this one, I love experimenting with monster designs and this one was sooo much fun to play around with, all those legs and his fur pattern, even the teeth were a treat to draw. Thank you Charlee for letting me play with your boys and making them all spooky hehe.
