Heya, hope it’s okay to post this here.

Yurui: The Cursed One is a dark urban fantasy that follows a powerless teenage girl who finds herself drawn into a world of violence, body horror, trauma, and dangerous relationships. It features an intelligent, morally complicated protagonist and slow-burn GL that becomes increasingly important as the story progresses.

It’s been growing quickly on Royal Road, having just reached 180 followers yesterday, but I’m hoping to introduce it to readers beyond the platform’s usual fantasy circles, so I thought this would be a good place to share it.

Small disclaimer: the opening is a slower psychological academy drama, but the story soon expands into much darker action, body horror, and gradually developing GL.

If that sounds like your thing, I’d be grateful if you gave it a shot.

They were the first urban fantasy series I got into. Some other favorites are the Dresden Files, Monster Hunter International. I prefer hard magic systems, or fantasy novels that follow a well defined system of fantasy. Books like The man with the Golden Torc, did not appeal to me. I didn’t like the ideas of some
Macguffin that provides plot armor. In short, I am looking for gritty style urban fantasy with a good world building.

For folks who like their urban fantasies with actual mysteries, no vamps/ shifters/ fae, or kissy stuff. First three books are $.99/ 99p in the US/ UK July 20-26.

I am looking for an urban fantasy series similar to Eileen Wilks' World of the Lupi. 

Now obviously I really like this series which is why I am looking for recommendations and there are multiple reasons for that. I would like to find something similar with prominent gay characters (maybe even the main character).

In general what I like about this series is:

1. That it has a big cast of characters, there are mostly two main characters, but there is a big cast of important reoccurring secondary characters that are interesting and enjoyable 

2. I like the setting and lore. The world building is always evolving but also staying consistent with previous world building or when it is not consistent it's still maintains consistency, I don't know if I'm explaining it very well, in general I like the lore and the world building of this series 

3. I like that most of the plot is focused on investigative work or on just solving an issue, a case, whatever it might be rather than romance. While romance is very present in this series it is not the focal point and when it is it's not annoying in the sense that it's not too slow. There's no any like super unnecessary drama, I like that there is no love triangle that is entertained for more than two pages, I say this because due to the nature of the world and the setting another character that is not the main love interest makes a proposition to the main character but it is not really serious, it's not like an emotional proposition, this character is not in love with the MC it's just "hey you need an outlet do you want to have sex" type of thing and is immediately shut down and then backs off and nothing else happens they don't bring it up ever again. It's not an issue the characters remain great friends. 

4. I love that the characters in the series have expansive meaningful relationships with each other, other than romance, that are important. And that includes the male characters. An extremely irritating part of any series that contains romantic subplot especially written by women is that the male characters have no friends, no close people, they're only focusing on the main character, who might or might not have friends of their own, it is extremely annoying to me. An example of social relationship is the one between Rule and Cullen, who are friends and very dear to each other and you can really feel their friendship throughout the series, so that's a thing I like. 

5. Aside from the main character there are many other characters, not even secondary ones, that are special in their own way. Lily is not the only person who can do everything no one ever thought possible. The specialness is distributed :D

6. It is written in 3rd person. I greatly dislike 1st person POV for many reasons that I will not get into. I'll say that I have pretty much dropped every single 1st person series I've started.

7. Since I am asking for it, obviously the diverse range of race, age, sexuality in the different characters here is something I really like as well.

Other urban fantasy series that I have read and have just not been for me include Dresden Files, in general I don't seem to enjoy urban fantasy written by men that is not queer (I like Adam Binder well enough as well as Big Bad Wolf) it always includes romantic subplots and they always seem super boring and basic to me. 

I tried the Soulbond series by Haily Turner. I just didn't enjoy the writing in this one. The MC seemed to "chosen one" to me, in addition to some other things I might ordinarily accept just compounded into a DNF for me.

I have also tried various Ilona Andrews series. I have not enjoyed many of them. Maybe I haven't given them a fair chance. If any of them fall under the type of things that I've listed that I like about World of the Lupi, please let me know and I'll give it another try. 

Another series that I've read is Mercy Thompson I did enjoy it kind of, it has a lot of things that I don't like in urban fantasy - the multiple male characters that are super enamored with the female character even though we know who the actual romantic interest is, there's no other like truly special characters and in this, like Mercy is THE special one - so I read multiple books in the series but in the end I dropped it and I didn't think it was worth it. 

So these are the ones that I've tried just so you can see which ones didn't work for me and maybe compare that to the things I said that worked for me for World of the Lupi. I still haven't been able to find a series like this that I truly have enjoyed and I really really love the concept of urban fantasy and I'd like to try to find something cool again. 

Thank you.

PS: I wasn't sure if it was gonna be an issue, but no TJ Klune please, I have not enjoyed a single one of his books that I tried. Let me know if Wolfsong is super different than his other books in terms of how the characters are written, if not I just won't enjoy it.

Gosh going over this again this sounds super picky, still gotta try though 😞

Hey everyone,

​I wanted to share the synopsis of my debut novel, Blood and Silence: The Red Thread. I spent years writing this 175k-word story in Bulgarian and translated it myself into English. It's a dark, atmospheric, slow-burn epic fantasy with a heavy emphasis on fate, blood magic, and deep worldbuilding.

​Currently sitting at 3 sales and 0 reviews after 4 months on Amazon, so I am actively looking for ARC readers, honest reviews, or Review Swaps with fellow authors!

​📖 The Synopsis:

​In a world bleeding under the shadow of an ancient cosmic entity known as Xarx, six marked individuals hold the key to keeping the Gate sealed. But they don't know it yet. The Herald of the dark, a hollowed-out knight named Morgan, is hunting them down—not out of malice, but by the cold mechanics of the universe.

​Valeria, known to the arenas as the "Bloody Lady," fights for survival with her two blades: Blood and Silence. Cold, calculating, and carrying a mysterious brand on her wrist, she thinks the sand is her only master.

​As bleeding red suns begin to appear in the sky at shrinking intervals, all roads lead to the grand tournament of Scarholm. Valeria must face her ultimate challenge on the sand against a terrifying new adversary: The Silent Messenger—a mysterious warrior clad in faceless black armor who fights with the lethal discipline of a soldier, not a performer.

​Meanwhile, far to the frozen North in Hirimholm, royal secrets are unraveling as ancient forces begin to stir, threatening to break the world apart.

​The arena doesn't care about heroes. It only remembers those who gave everything and fell.

​⚔️ What to expect:

​The Vibe: Grimdark / High Fantasy / Epic Mystery

​The Pacing: Slow-burn character development leading to a massive, hidden twist and a devastating climax.

​Tropes: Multi-POV, arena tournaments, ancient forbidden archives, hidden identities, and tragic twists.

​If you love gritty worlds where the price of power is always paid in blood, I would love to send you a free digital copy (EPUB/PDF) for an honest review.

​Check out the book on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0G67GB51F

​Thank you for reading and supporting international indie authors!

Urban Fantasy is a genre that is really hit-or-miss with me. I love Daniel Faust/Harmony Black, Alex Verus, and Pre-Changes Dresden Files. But beyond that I have had pretty bad luck finding stuff I enjoy as much as those. I have narrowed my preferences down to three points, and I’m hoping someone can recommend a series that works for all three. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

• I don’t want a series that features sexual assault in it (Ex. Mercy Thompson), or any “pack/monster dynamics” that are borderline SA (Ex. Kitty Norville / The Hollows).

• While I don’t mind a little romance, I don’t want a series where it is inching its way sneakily towards paranormal romance. (Ex. Kate Daniels)

• I want a series that balances seriousness with the levity of humor/heart/warmth, (Ex. Early-Dresden files) and isn’t mostly a trauma/melancholy tone throughout. (Ex. October Daye / Later-Dresden Files)

Hello everyone,

I still have work to accomplish on republishing/rereleasing some of my previously published works. But currently on Amazon KDP, I have two books still available. For fantasy readers, I have The Will of the Rose: Enchanted Edition, and for anyone looking for a action-packed sci-fi horror story, I have Echoes of the Abyss: Reloaded Edition. Both are available for paperback and eBook formats

She's aggressive, hates tourists, and will fight anyone who disagrees that the spear is the greatest weapon in human history. She will chop down any naysayers before they even get the chance to 'erm, actually' her.

So I know most masquerade fantasy like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson usually keeps the magical and muggle worlds separate for one reason or another meaning that the wizards and demigods aren’t allowed to use their powers to help ordinary people.

But in Gargoyles the Manhattan clan makes it their mission to protect and serve the people of New York City.

And that got me thinking.

Are there any works of fantasy like Gargoyle about supernatural creatures and beings fighting crime and saving muggle lives? The closest ones I can think of besides Gargoyles are the Secret Saturdays and one episode of Trollhunters involving Jim stopping a crime ring.

Hello Reddit Audiobook Community,

I am Carol Ann Moore, author of the Aella Chronicles, a historical fantasy fiction series. I have just had the first novel, The Coven of Cagliasaro, in the series made into an audiobook. I posted around two weeks ago that I will have codes available and they have arrived.

I have a bunch of codes that can be redeemed at Audiobooks.com which I believe you can use internationally. 

I am looking for honest reviews to build up my ratings as these help to spread the word and ultimately I will be able to have the remainder of the series made into audio versions. 

Please reach out if you are into historical fantasy, magical realism and strong female characters and I will DM you a code.

The Coven of Cagliasaro blurb.

Immortality and Magic. A curse or a gift? She would have many lifetimes to wield them and find out.

Aella and the coven had fled. 

Their only solace was each other. Was their destination another viper’s nest of hate? Or would Cagliasaro be a place where their kind was accepted? The magic of the mountain had drawn them to it. An ancient portal of power.

She could feel the potency of the elemental magic thrumming through her veins. But she dared not unleash it again, not without the other’s help. For who knew what might happen this time? The deaths of the innocent weighed heavily on her mind. 

Evil nestles at the foot of the mountain, housed in the Castello di Calvane. As a woman within those walls, your will would never be your own.

The coven could not stand by and bear witness to the fate of their new friends. Fear caged them, but witching would release them.

It was time for a reckoning.

Time for the Inquisition and its witch hunters to become the hunted.

I hope you enjoy listening!

A man stands before a room full of people. He dares not go in, feet upon the threshold, his reality crumbling to pieces. The deafening silence of his still beating heart fills his head to the point of fainting.

The faceless attendees halt. No clinking of glasses, no weeping tears, no idle chatter. The world is at a pause.

Eventually, he draws closer - the wooden box sitting in the room's corner. Soft, white lilies lay upon the surface, carnations in the vase beside. A single mandrake protrudes from the parting by her ear, hair flowing aside.

He winces, the familiar stranger lying still, motionless, void. Empty of life, just as they last met, now sealed with the kiss of death.

A short child stands silently at the edge of his view. His eyes are skewed by her oblique smile. Perhaps sly, but certainly not kind. The sight disturbs his busy mind.

The devious grin grows, her face wincing as her eyes roll back. His breath ices in his chest. Her limbs slump closer, approaching the man and the woman at rest.

~~ Father ~~

The man violently crashed to the ground, his chair leg broken. He gazes upon his table, his work incomplete, the night at full height. An automaton pinches his ear.

-

He curses the dream, the cheap echo of his torment.

His latest beast stands idle, screwed into the joists. A model of its depravity, a creature of metal and finely carved bolster supports the captivity of the sorrow trying to bleed out.

“Why should you be released?”

His face scorns at the eminent presence lying within

The dastardly spirit fights as its prison is sealed.

Bugs by the plenty infest the walls. The small clinking of metal springs batting by their side. The scraping of brass legs and steel plates sliding upon every movement.

His taste turns sour, his mind plagued. After so much hard work, blood, and sweat, the only tears shed are not his own and not those from whom he wants to collect.

One by one, demons fall. He continues collecting the evils and forcing them to pay his toll.

Driven by madness, a crumbling of faith, morals destroyed, he will do anything to fulfil his vengeful role.

As his power grows, spirits start to fear his face; for those with a loss of grace, they know the black exorcist is on their case.

-

A woman lies bound on the ground by a dilapidated cabin. Her body is captured by a demon who has collected her soul, a deceitful deal garnished with a subtle subterfuge to maximise his yield.

Her friend sits shaking in the corner, unable to breathe. Plastered in crystals and protection spells, she frantically calls upon the father she has always ignored, praying for his love, begging with all the deals she can afford.

“Black exorcist…ttt...ttt...ttt.”

The slippery servant within speaks, tutting through her pierced tongue. “Come to ruin the fun?”

The man stands tall, distancing his mind from the voice.

“Where is your faith now?”

She grins so hard it rips her lips. “Where was it then?”

Suddenly, the man's mind flashes; he sees himself thrusting upon a priest. A little girl is held up high, bones breaking, walls shaking, her life being grasped out of her as easily as the evil got in.

“How dare you! Demon!”

He gets up from the ground, fighting the cruel memory.

He slashes holy water at her face, cutting into the sour wounds. He burns out its name, forced by engraving her forehead with the symbol of Christ's sacrifice - branding her with an iron as hot as the depths of hell itself.

-

He drops a snapped spirit board on his workshop floor. The glass eye gets crushed by the heel of his boot.

“Young girls shouldn't play,” he scorns, thinking back to the women holding her almost lifeless, contorted friend.

A revolting reminder of his daughter and her friend.

He rips out a rug from under his table and sits within the pentagram etched into the dry, dusty floorboards.

Five candles burn bright, a hue as vibrant as blood.

He drops to the floor, drawing the signal of his latest acquaintance.

He slices his arm and lets it pour.

Now he mutters the wicked prayer to open the door.

He brings a dying bird he found in the winter snow. Its life cursed first by nature, and its death by an evil soul.

The sacrifice fulfilled, the spirit is bound to its bones.

Another monster awaiting its mechanical prison.

It cannot speak. It cannot breathe. Now it’s confined, unable to haunt the world outside of these walls.

Contained, they are dammed, limiting their powers to only roam these halls.

No matter how hard their worshiper’s scrawl, they are isolated from the world, no one able to here it’s dastardly calls.

-

He visits his next case. An eerie feeling fills the air.

A dim glow is seen in the distance, and a whirling mist begins pooling upon the floor.

A woman appears suspended by a tree.

The cloaked members stand stunned, terrified. Analysing the woman, she was evidently tortured, offered to a diabolic power. Just one problem: the demon came, but it is yet to be revealed.

The members suspect it lies within their group, trying to hide, escaping to the mortal world.

After careful and thorough testing, he clears each member of the group, sending them on their way.

The woman on the tree lifts her bloodied, weary head.

A sly grimace appears, as her eyes roll back and a harrowing laugh bellows from her constricted chest

Could it really be it? Is the search for his rival over?

Could this twisted vigil be the gate? The delicious ending to his torturous, treacherous wait?

“Have you had your fun?” he approaches the being. “Finished twisting the mind of this poor woman?”

“Whaaatt?” Her eyes open; a fiery hurt burns within.

“Her? Please,” it says with a demented cackle.

-

“She asked for this. You know? She actually asked to be tortured to feel my awe.”

He cuts a rope holding her up. Her shoulder slumps under her weight.

His emotions get the best of him. His carelessness grows.

It touches him, not just on the body but from the depths of his soul.

It enters his mind. It tears through his memories.

It viciously blends his dreams with reality, clinging to his nightmares, changing them, worsening them.

He wakes in the woods; a dark eminence stands close.

This time, the one who's frail is him.

Its slender form twists and splits from the woman.

“I can let you see them, you know,” it craftily taunts.

“Black exorcist,” it punctuates with a menacing sneer.

“Your wife?”

“Perhaps, your delectable daughter?”

“Yeah?” He gets up, struggling to gather his strength. “How about I drag us both down there?”

He hastily reaches for his pocket. The entity’s piercing fingers thrust him back down.

-

As if darkness personified, its claw-like nails, thin, crackling protrusions, hold his head as it opens its eye.

“How about one better?” It says, “I'll bring her to you.”

A small, wretched scarab scurries from its arm, now crawling upon his face.

“What…” He says, straining, “What is this?”

The entity licks its non-existent, bloodied lips.

“Maybe I'll let you hold her one last time…”

The bug reaches his eye.

“Isn’t she beautiful?”

It continues, “Our delightful wife?”

A strong wheezing laugh radiates through its presence; the forest aches as the temperature chills.

“You lie! Satan!”

Its cackle grows, “You wish you were bettered by him!”

The spirit's face sharply drives towards him.

The man struggles to raise his arms, his eye trying to redirect the bug.

“What? Don’t you miss her?”

“You lie!”

“Oh? Don't you think I have the power to endow a weak, fragile spirit with such a pathetic little bug?”

-

It laughs at him, watching him trying to fight it.

“You ought to swat her?”

He struggles to raise his arm, weakened yet hesitant; he fights his consciousness. “What if it is?” he thinks.

“You going to bat her away?”

“It's not her!”

“Will you kill her as you did in life? Neglecting her at her lowest? Leaving her allll along to defend for herself?”

Its face turns dark.

“Just like when your abandonment made her watch as you let me kill your daughter. Just as neglected then, as you are now by those above.”

“STOP!”

The bug starts to bury itself into his left eye.

“Not squeamish of a little itty bug, are you? Your poor wife.” It mockingly pouts.

“I'll kill you!” He screams.

“And I'll kill it! And send it right back to hell with me.”

“So, what will it be? Will you sacrifice a part of yourself? Or kill her again, drive her into hell a second time?”

Blood pours from his nose and ears, the stress about to rupture his insides.

-

Suddenly, he awakes. The morning dew soaks his back.

No signs of the treacherous entity can be seen.

He rips his sleeve and braces his face. A patch over his eye, holding dear what’s buried within.

His search renewed, his spirit buzzes.

Unknown what is truly inside him, whether it truly be his late wife or a cruel trick, he carries on.

For him, any chance is worth it. That even for a day, if she's out of hell is saving aeons of pain and torment. Even if she is trapped as a mindless bug instinctively feasting on his dying eye.

But why a bug?

Does it know?

Has it found his walking prisons for the wicked?

It's time to gather some forces: occult members, exorcists, those who can get him his closure.

He won't rest until his vengeance is over.

He heads back, standing strong.

He plans his return, even if he has to stay alone in these cursed woods all winter long.

I don’t know how many Rob Thurman fans are still out there, but Cal Leandros was my favorite urban fantasy series as a teen. I recently made a plush of Cal as a cookie guy, and I wanted to share it with people who might remember him.

I’m looking for test readers for a completed urban fantasy/noir manuscript titled Out of Grounds (about 34,000 words). This is not a beta read or critique request — you don’t need to analyze anything or give line‑by‑line feedback.

I only need three things after you finish:

1. Did the story keep your attention?
2. Which character did you care about most?
3. What moment stuck with you afterward?

That’s it.

If you enjoy any of the following, you’ll probably vibe with the book:

• urban fantasy grounded in real‑world settings
• supernatural mysteries
• noir voice and atmosphere
• ghosts with personality
• character‑driven stories
• Seattle as a living, breathing backdrop

Premise:
A burned‑out former medium running a failing espresso stand on Bainbridge Island gets dragged back into the supernatural world she left behind when a ghost with a noir detective’s voice anchors himself to her van, a desperate stranger arrives during a rainstorm that shouldn’t exist, and the Veil starts to crack open in ways that shouldn’t be possible. What follows is a mix of supernatural investigation, character trauma, ghost‑human dynamics, and Seattle‑coded weirdness.

I can send the manuscript as a PDF, Google Doc, or Wattpad link — whatever’s easiest for you. Be advised that as of this posting, only four chapters of the work are released on Wattpad.

If you’re interested, comment below or DM me and I’ll send it over.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help. Your reactions will genuinely help me finalize the book for publication.

As per usually, it took far longer than I intended, but I have finally released a new episode of my audio drama The Books of Thoth.

For those just jointing the fun, The Books of Thoth is an anthology. Each episode a new tales to discover. You’ll find squids puzzling over human fossils millions of years in the future. You’ll go on a tour of a zoo filled with alien animals from across the cosmos. You’ll hear a folktale from a world where Buddhism, rather than Christianity, became the dominant religion of Europe.

This episode is called “Broadmoor Wonder Tour.” It takes place in the Broadmoor neighborhood of Shreveport, Louisiana. Which is where I live. Ah, but Broadmoor is a place of many wonders, and we’ll get to see several of them. We’ll visit AC Steer Park and see a tree grown from a twig from the world tree Yggdrasil itself. We’ll visit Broadmoor United Methodist Church, and learn the story of how they stole the real Plymouth Rock. We’ll meet a lonely old man who runs an intergalactic radio show. We’ll visit the house where Elvis lived after faking his death. And we’ll even meet some minor Greek gods who run a gyro shop. All that and more, on a Broadmoor Wonder Tour.

This was a very personal episode for me. I often listen to audio dramas and audiobooks while walking around my neighborhood. One of the things I love about Broadmoor is how diverse all the houses are. It’s not like those cut and paste suburbs. Some of them might share similar designs, but they all have their own personalities. Different colors, different decorations, different architectural flourishes. So, I’d often make up stories about the houses I saw on my walks, and the sorts of people who lived inside them.

So, yes, all the places featured in this episode are indeed real places you can visit in Broadmoor. However, I took a similar approach to what Neil Gaiman did when he wrote American Gods. So, you can see all the places, but not in the order I presented them. I focused on what worked for the story vs what was a realistic route.

Though, this episode did have one other inspiration. I had fiddled with the idea of starting a Liar’s Tour. Basically, kind of like a ghost tour, but I’d be upfront about it all being bullshit. But entertaining bullshit. So, you can see this episode as an example of what one of my Liar’s Tour might have hypothetically been like.

Except, in this story, everything is true. What can I say, I’m a dreamer and a romantic.

A big thank you to Michael Wilhelm for performing this episode for me. Be sure to listen to his audio drama sitcom The TEMP. It is very funny.

If you miss the snark of Harry Dresden, the neon-drenched danger of John Taylor's Nightside, the cynical edge of Felix Castor, and the absolute chaos of Eric Carter, then you need to put this on your radar.

Introducing SoulSighted: Vampire Vexations by Halley Royal Hupp.

Meet Alexander Hope. He used to win trials with a Fae talent that could bend a courtroom to his will, until one impossible verdict shattered his life and left him exiled. Now, he is left with something far more dangerous: the Sight. He can see the pulse of doubt in a jury, the sickness of a vampire’s spirit, and the hidden threads tying old enemies together.

When a powerful vampire judge wakes up missing a hand, the Courts drag Hope out of exile for what should be a simple case: Find the hand. Prevent a political disaster. Try not to die before Monday.

But with vampire factions demanding judicial equality, Dark Fae power players moving in the shadows, a Fae fiancé embroiled in political turmoil, and an ex-lover turned vampire investigator on the case, the supernatural justice system is about to explode.

This hits all the sweet spots of classic occult noir. Magic has rules, monsters are lawyers, and justice bites back.

The best part? You can lock in your copy right now for a steal. The ebook is currently available for a limited-time pre-order discount of just $1.99 on Amazon.

Don't wait until the price goes up on release day. Grab your pre-order link below and get ready for a wild ride.
