Author. Musician. Creator.
I’m Liam Keith.
I author dark fiction that hybridizes many genres, including horror, fantasy, mystery, and thriller. My stories often explore the human condition set against the canvas of supernatural or extraordinary circumstances, while at other times the writing simply roams free in deep, brambly backcountry.
Outside of story, I pen poetry and a variety of texts on depth psychology, mythology, and the creative process.
I’m also a multi-instrumentalist and multi-genre composer, finding time here or there to write and produce music. My tracks range from dark ambient electronica to epic heavy metal.
Gothic Fantasy / Supernatural Mystery / Horror Series
New chapters published bi-weekly.
Dark ambient, immersive music perfect for writing, studying, or escaping.
