Welcome! My name is Anton.
In the twilight of my life, I can now begin to fulfill my childhood dream of becoming a published author and sharing the many stories that I have scribbled through the decades.
Thank you for joining me in this dream. I write an eclectic mix of stories with complex characters living in diverse world settings. Many of the stories within each setting are interconnected, sharing characters and concepts.
Most of my stories can be read independently of one another. A few should be read in order, and these are labeled as a series. My stories share the unifying concept of twenty fundamental mystic energies which form the basis of magic and science in all of the worlds.
Within the body of my work, you will find stories from the following genres: sci-fi, fantasy, horror, superhero, and dystopian. My tales are grouped into collections named for the nature of the setting.
These are the main settings of my Mystic Realms stories:
Aberrantum
Once you know the truth, no light will ever seem bright enough to dispel the darkness. There are monsters dwelling in the shadows hidden on the fringes of the rational world just out of sight. Down through the ages, they have waited for those unfortunate, unsuspecting, ill-prepared victims who stumble into their lairs. The average person lives in blissful ignorance of the danger. These are horror stories where tragic victims struggle to survive, and out-matched hunters of the preternatural attempt to save them.
AetherSteam
AetherSteam is the revolutionary mechanical design that combines ancient mystic energies, called Aether, and the modern science of steam-power. Burning incense and whispered invocations meld with the smell of gear oil and the sound of clanking, spinning gears. The future seems to be an endless horizon of possibility, but the extraordinary machines are draining mystic energy from the world. The stories of this setting explore the tensions between modern industrial practices and ancient arcane traditions.
