The debut novel in the Collapse Series, Wild Things Will Roam is an evocative dystopian thriller filled with ‘humour-wrapped ruthlessness.’
In a war-scarred world where horrible Creatures (“Creats”) roam wild, the future of humanity rests upon the shoulders of Lash and Ander, two Romani brothers who failed to fulfill their prophecy once before.
Liv cut her teeth on war, famine, death, and despair. When her brother vanishes, she and her adoptive father, Carian, abandon their homestead in search of a Priestess rumored to find lost things.
With their fates inexplicably tied, the four must claw their way through the horrors of a fractured American South… but none are prepared for the theater of terror that awaits them, nor how badly they will need each other to survive.
Their nightmares prove very real, but hope, however small, may yet prevail.
“Where things are wild, wild things will roam.”

2. FRANKENSTEIN(Foreword)
Foreword by KM West.
In a chilling tale that blends science, ambition, and the boundaries of human morality, Frankenstein tells the story of Victor Frankenstein, a brilliant young scientist who dares to defy nature by creating life from death. But his triumph quickly turns to horror when his creation – an intelligent, sensitive being – awakens to a world that rejects him.
As the creature grapples with isolation and rage, Victor is haunted by the consequences of his obsession. Their intertwined fates spiral into a tragic confrontation that explores the darkest corners of human desire, responsibility, and the cost of playing god.
Written during ‘the year without summer’ in 1816, Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley’s Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus stands as a foundational text in both Gothic literature and early science fiction. It captures the proverbial ‘lightning strike’ of perfect conditions for a person to channel creativity into a work so complex and revolutionary that it inspires humanity for centuries. First published anonymously in 1818, the novel was revised and republished in 1831 under Shelley’s married name, with notable changes that reflect the maturation of her philosophical outlook through loss, grief, and other personal experiences. The 1831 edition, often considered the definitive version and the one used for this production of the text, offers a deeper meditation on fate, responsibility, and the perilous pursuit of knowledge that resonates as much today as ever.

REVIEWS
“I could highly recommend [Wild Things Will Roam] as a dystopian dark fantasy. I could write that it is well edited and that the changes in point of view are deftly handled, and that the characters and their story arcs develop in fascinating ways over time. All of this is true. But it also falls short of the book’s power to captivate. This is a book full of uncertainty and dark magic, designed to make the reader question everything.”
