Sam Flynn - DWELLER IN DARKNESS Out Now! @samflynnwrites.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Appreciate you Gabino! #FridayReads friends if you want to see flintlock fantasy & cosmic horror fused together like those llamas in that Nic Cage Color Out of Space movie, I have the novellas for you. DWELLER IN DARKNESS, part 2 of the Deadlights Duology, out 9/22 from @timberghostpress.bsky.social

Deadlights Duology #1 - The Mystery of the Pale King by Sam Flynn
Cover by Greg Chapman

“While the dark, riveting The Mystery of the Pale King is set in a distant time and place, its sharp examinations of religious cults and hero worship are all too relevant to today’s world. Flynn’s clear prose leads the reader through a short yet complex tale of dark fantasy and horrors both earthbound and cosmic. It’s a gripping, highly recommended read.”
- Nicole Willson, Bram Stoker Award-nominated author of Tidepool

“A taut and compelling tale full of political intrigue, conspiracy, betrayal, and hidden horrors. Flynn's prose and worldbuilding flows with ease, even while exploring bigger themes like identity and belonging, and the dangers of blindly following orders. Fantastical, fun, dark, and thoughtful in equal measure.”
- Lyndsey Croal, Shirley Jackson Award and British Fantasy Award-nominated author of The Girl with Barnacles for Eyes and Dark Crescent

Clouded in mystery and beautifully written, The Mystery of the Pale King is the perfect example of the immense gratification in discovering debut/new-to-you authors. In a fantastic blend of folklore, guts, and historical inspiration, Flynn explores faith, games of power, and excels at evoking emotion, from intriguing to nauseating…Horrifying, bizarre and utterly compelling, The Mystery of the Pale King jumped right into my top 5 books of the year.”
- Arina Nabais of Grimdark Magazine
