“Death clung to Julian. It had only worsened in recent years—grief ate away at his intestines, corrosive and nauseating; long talons of guilt plunged between his ribs, ever slicing. He wore dread like a thick cologne.”

Silver doesn’t kill inhumans in my worldbuilding. After the Crusade it’s a widely believed myth! I wanted the truth obscured, the resource rarer, the swords strong enough to be a useful. And I wanted more magic in my paranormal fantasy universe. Now, I have cruoscuro. #DarkFantasy

"And though the room began to spin and her limbs began to buzz with numbness, she was unconcerned. She pulled Him closer still. Though she knew she had never been less herself, she could not bring herself to care, her lips merely parting to whisper, "Thank you'''

Take a peek 👀 at the first four chapters of my dark romantic fantasy ⚔️Hunters & Heretics🔥. Follow Adara Eira, a human who somehow has magic, and Odessa, a monster hunter who always seems one misstep away from death. Read it for free!!! mkmoretti.substack.com

A screenshot from Hunters & Heretics by M.K. Moretti - Chapter 1: Deal with the Devil
“There was something about the shimmering chartreuse in the distance that gave the distinct impression of a wart. Perhaps it was the way in which the magic protruded from the ground like a dome, as though an ancient elemental being was experiencing a change in hormones.”

A screenshot from Hunters & Heretics by M.K. Moretti - Chapter 2: Death Sentences
“Odessa mourned the fact that she wouldn’t even get a last hot meal before her execution. They had arrived at the garrison in late afternoon. The sky had begun to fade to darkness, allowing the torches to give off a warm glow. It was the largest compound she’d seen, and still bustling with activity.”

A screenshot from Hunters & Heretics by M.K. Moretti - Chapter 3: How to Work a Faucet
“ “Mystery solved,” Adara mused as she stared down at the abandoned goods by the door, “the scaled man goes grocery shopping.” Here was a small but immediate opportunity to prove useful. She snatched up what she could, piling a head of cabbage on top of her bundle before she straightened.”

A screenshot from Hunters & Heretics by M.K. Moretti - Chapter 4: Right to Jail
“Odessa had been pleasantly surprised that Nexilus were assigned personal quarters. She slept free from any snorers, farters, and other nightmare bunkmates she had grown used to among Legionnaires. Her own room to wallow in for the night. It hadn't helped her sleep quality much.“

Life sucks, so I wrote spooky stories 🧛🩸 I’m posting stories all set in my paranormal fantasy realm on Substack weekly—all are free!! Here’s a sample, I’d love for you to check them out: open.substack.com/pub/mkmoretti #shortstories #indiewriter #horrorstories #vampirestories #paranormalfantasy

The title card of a short paranormal horror story “The Night of Crimson Waters” on the Into Ekhypso Substack by MK Moretti. The background image is a blurred photo of a drop rippling through water lit by red light.

“The streets ran red with blood. It slithered between cobblestones, unable to congeal for the rain that diluted it. It puddled in the potholes, where hasty steps sent it splattering on the sides of buildings, only to be washed away again.” -The Night of Crimson Waters by M.K. Moretti

The title card of a dark fantasy and cosmic horror short story “When Facing Angels” on the Into Ekhypso Substack by MK Moretti. Image shows a single candle burning warmly in the darkness.

“Was it possible to be haunted by something you never knew? He felt it at the edges of his awareness. It taunted him like a word on the tip of his tongue, slipping through his teeth before it could be spoken. It mocked him in each breath before a hymn began, offering the promise of a different tune. One he didn’t know, had never heard, and couldn’t conjure. One that haunted him.” -When Facing Angels by M.K. Moretti

My last #FantasyIndiesMarch catch up! Day 3: My WIP explores lies told by large institutions as well as the lies you tell about (and to) yourself. Thrust into the hidden paranormal world under a fake name, Val must decide how many believed lies it takes before reality is fiction. #writersky

#FantasyIndiesMarch catchup day 2: While I try to have a balance with my characters, I definitely lean more heavily towards creating introverts. I am one after all! The main character of my current WIP was previously an extrovert, but isn’t any longer 👀 #writingcommunity #booksky
