What, the forest-dwelling entities with imperfect human mimicry who insinuate themselves into groups of hikers? Yeah, we had one of those. Clocked it immediately, of course. Honestly it kind of fell in that so-inept-it's-kind-of-charming range. We just played along until it'd had it's fill of marshmallows and shambled back into the treeline. We might have been violating some kind of killjoy wildlife contact best practices but what the hell, can't plan around every little thing. Why, what happened to you guys

Hey everyone, so I’ve mentioned working on a project about the paranormal side of WWI, which I thought was basically unpublishable due to how weird and difficult to market it would be. So I spoke with my publisher (I’ve got a traditionally published fantasy book, That Great Leviathan, slated to drop in the latter half of the year), and I’m taking advantage of IngramSpark’s recent changes and releasing it. There’s less of a stigma against “hybrid” authors now, so now I can release my more mainstream shit through my publishers and go indie with the weirder, more niche works, maybe make a few dollars. Publishers are actually looking for writers with a bit of a back catalogue now before they go for the traditional print run.

So here’s the pitch: Whom Gods Would Destroy: An Occult History of the First World War is a trilogy of ergodic metafictional slipstream horror/dark fantasy/weird fiction told through the format of a Fortean history of WWI. I wanted to take the epistolary formatting, false documents, and “historical investigation gone wrong” elements common to the Gothic and weird fiction and push it further, seriously blurring the line between the fictional narrative and the academic investigation to the point that it becomes surreal and keeps the reader guessing. I wanted something of a puzzle, like Umberto Eco or Borges’ metatextuality, and blend it with my love for paranormal mystery, cryptids, UFOs, and psychic woo. So it’s almost like a paranormal investigation/creepypasta anthology that eventually coheres into an epic narrative. I don’t want to spill too much about what happens from there, since seeing it all click together is part of the fun, but it gets wild.

So the first book should drop on May 31st, with the next two following a month afterwards, in epub and 9′x6′ trade paperback (though there may be a slight delay in availability on the latter due to international pricing issues and upcoming changes with that in July). I’d prefer if you get it in paperback; the footnote heavy format makes it easier to read, and I also make more money off of it due to IngramSpark’s odd profit structure. The first outlet is Kindle/Amazon since they seem to get priority, but it should be dropping elsewhere.

I’d love to talk about it, and we can do a bit of a book club. If you like it, leave a review and post about it. If it inspires anything artistic in you, I’d love to see it in the hashtag. If you don’t, uh, I don’t know, buy cartons of it for mass public bookburnings.

The Amazon listing is above. Here’s the Barnes & Noble Link. And Kobo.
