Dark Descent
Whispers From Beyond
Every Nightmare Starts Here. Months Before the Anthology
Every nightmare in the Dark Descent anthology started here.
In this space. In these shadows. Long before anyone outside got their hands on it.
Subscribers read the stories first—months before they hit the next anthology. Before the edits. Before the spotlight. Before the world ever knows they exist.
This is horror that doesn’t wait. Raw. Immediate. Uncompromised. Fiction designed to crawl under your skin and stay.
If you read the anthology... you already know how deep this goes.
If you haven’t... this is where the descent begins.
The descent doesn’t wait. And once you step inside... you’re not coming back the same.

🏆 Story of the Month – June Winner
Before They Hatch
By Audrey Duplantier
On a quiet farm, one hen has had enough. For too long, Bernadette has watched her precious eggs stolen, her cries ignored. But today... today, the farmer won't make it back to the house. Revenge is coming—and it has feathers.
A Writing Workshop That Sharpens More Than Just Your Pen
The Dark Holme Writers’ Workshop is your invitation to something bigger — a 20-week descent into the heart of craft, built for horror and dark fantasy writers who want more than tips and templates.
This is where you level up.
Where raw stories are shaped, scenes are sharpened, and voices are forged in the dark.
Each week, you’ll receive a focused workshop exploring a key technique — from vivid description and pacing dread to character psychology, historical layering, and genre-bending horror.
You’ll get exercises, structure, scene work, and the space to apply it all — alongside a growing creative community.
🩸 Built for horror and dark fantasy — but powerful across all genres
📄 9-page weekly PDF, downloadable and yours to keep
🕯️ Post your work in ShadowSphere for feedback and support
✍️ From prompts to peer critique, every week is designed to refine your craft
