Author. Musician. Creator.
I’m Liam Keith.
I’m an author of Dark Liminal Fiction—stories where the mundane and the mythic collide, where characters are placed in tension between the real and the unreal. My work hybridizes many elements of gothic horror, dark fantasy, thriller, and weird fiction, but I let each story take whatever shape it demands without any real regard for genre.
Beyond fiction, I’m a scholar and curator of dark mythology—werewolves, vampires, ghosts, and other creatures that haunt the human imagination. I’m also a lifelong student of depth psychology. I bring these disciplines together to explore how texts like the Victorian ghost story or the medieval witchcraft treatise serve as snapshots of the evolving human psyche.
Beyond the written word, I’m a multi‑instrumentalist and composer, producing music across genres: cinematic dark ambient, gothic piano nocturnes, and much more.
