Blog postYou’ve heard of Atlantis, right? Of course you’ve heard of Atlantis. We’ve all heard of Atlantis. If you haven’t, then you’re lying. Atlantis is innate knowledge nowadays - but did you know that Atlantis is only one of many mysterious sunken cities? I’ve put together a list of six underwater masterpieces you’ve likely never heard of.

Blog postOn the advent of Buddhism, all animals (other than those that became envoys to the gods) lost their divinity. The tanuki was obviously one of these, and I can’t imagine it was very happy about it. You see, rumour has it that before Buddhism the cute little Japanese raccoon dog occupied a very powerful position - as governor of all things in nature. So if you had a problem with the way things were organised, then you’d go visit your local tanuki.

Blog postIn Native American mythology, the Deer Woman is a shape-shifting woman whose appearance is never quite stable. She is described as being either young or old, with hooves in place of feet. In some tales, she takes the whole form of a deer - and then in others the split is roughly half-woman half-deer, the lower half being that of a white-tailed deer. I haven’t found any stories that switch this around; deer-headed with a human lower body. I think this is a real shame. Would make for some hilar2 years ago Read more

Blog postDragons. Massive reptilian creatures with interlocking scales whose breath can burn a person to cinders within seconds. The beating of their wings bends trees at the trunk, and at full spread they stretch a fields length. Then there are the claws; curved knives at the end of each toe that can tear flesh from the bone in one quick, leisurely, swipe.

Blog postLet’s be honest, there are a lot of mythical creatures walking around in the GoneGod World. Some of them are painfully obvious, standing out in ways that make sore thumbs positively innocuous. Sure, sore thumbs stand out, but they pale in comparison to extra appendices, wings, claws and, either massive or minuscule, size.
There’s no mistaking an angel with their dove-like wings, an ogre with their tusk filled jaws or a phoenix with their fiery (as in literally on fire) bodies.2 years ago Read more -
Blog postI’m sure I’ve mentioned the yōkai in an article already, but maybe I haven’t gone over them in detail. So, yōkai are essentially supernatural creatures from Japanese folklore. They can be spirits, or monsters, or creatures, or really rather human - and their characters are equally as various. Some are deadly, whilst others are actually harmless and rather friendly. So let’s begin.

Many believe that bones of the deceased contain spiritual properties that live on beyond the decay of flesh. Ghost stories and hauntings, for example, can often be traced back to the act of disrespecting burial sites. Stepping on graves, uncovering buried bones, or removing parts of the skeleton and placing them elsewhere disturb the peaceful dead. For these people our bones become a home after death - a place in which our spirit rests.

Blog postIt was a summers day in the outback and the heat was starting to get to me. I stopped beneath a fig tree to rest my legs, but the cool sensation of the shade quickly sent me to sleep. I woke a few hours later and opened my eyes to find two wide eyes staring back. A creature with a large red face, a massive grin, and short frog-like limbs sat crouched in front of me. I later learnt that this was a Yara-Ma-Yha-Who.

Four years ago, the gods left. All of them. Their last message to humanity was, “Thank you for believing in us, but it is not enough. We're leaving. Good luck.”
At first no one took the warning seriously. Then the denizens of all the heavens and hells started showing up on people's doorsteps. Creatures from every religion, mythology, folklore, and fairytale now live among us, mortal and homeless.
SETTING FIRES
My name is Tara and all I ever wanted was to be an acrobat in the circus. Then my family was killed by vampires.
I still perform. My dragon Percy and I take to the skies in the greatest show you've ever seen. Seeing this sassy Kansas girl cracking whips on the back of a dragon sure does draw in a crowd. Not that I allow their adulations (and tips) stop me from seeking what I truly crave.
Vengeance.
In my secret side gig as a vigilante, we’ve hunted down the murderous vampires to New Orleans. Seems they’ve been up to horrible things since killing my parents. If I don't stop them, no one will.
They say revenge is a dish best served cold. Personally, I like mine served with a side of dragon fire.
MORTALITY BOUND
Stop me if you’ve heard this one: Cupid, Hercules, and a shapeshifter walk into a bar…
Isabella is a 500-year-old teenage shapeshifter on the run with her boyfriend. She’s being hunted by the world’s elite, who will stop at nothing to rip out the knowledge she holds in her head.
And to think, a week ago her biggest problem was finding the number to Dominos.
Our girl did steal the secret DNA map of mythical creatures. The combination of what she knows and what she stole might be the key to save her kind from total extinction. What will she do to protect that knowledge?
Will Isabella run in the hopes of finding a peaceful life for her and her love? Or will she find the courage to fight for the once-immortal mythical creatures who now roam our world?

Mythical creatures are real and the world is only now finding out.
All Frances wants is a simple, safe life.
Kidnapping the Phoenix was probably a bad move.
My name is Frances Church. Not the name you’d expect from someone on the run from the paranormal mob.
You know, ogres with machine guns, kind of mob.
But when the unborn ashes of the Phoenix ask for help, well, what’s a girl gonna do? I stole her urn from the mob and went on the run.
Now I'm hiding in small town Indiana, where I work as a medic for fantasical beasts. I should be safe here, right?
But the mob aren’t the only ones looking for the Phoenix.
An ancient evil is searching for her in hopes to usher in Armageddon.
Now I have a choice to make: abandon the Phoenix and run, or stop these supernatural bullies and beasts from harnessing the Phoenix’s magic for evil.
Like I said, what’s a girl gonna do?

But when she and her familiars, Simon and Garfunkel, botch their most dangerous heist yet, they find themselves on the wrong side of a powerful demigod …
Turns out all the legends are true. Banished demigods really do hold grudges.
Now Theo must fight in an underground arena where mythical creatures battle to the death.
First rule of mythical Fight Club: everyone dies.
More is at stake than just the her life and the lives of her friends. If this arena is not destroyed, the world will wake to a dark new day… and an even darker new god.
Theo has a decision to make: Run to protect those she loves, or fight with the slim hope she can stop the apocalypse.

A battle-elf, gladiator and super genius walk into a bar… Actually, there’s no punch line.
But you can guarantee someone’s getting decapitated.
Anabella is a supermodel with a secret. She’s really an elf. And she’s bored, bored, bored. Born and bred as a warrior, Anabella wants nothing more than to trade her tiara for a dagger and a gun.
Careful what you wish for…
When orcs invade Earth, will Anabella have her chance?
Abby is a robotics engineer and certifiable genius (as well as simply certifiable). When Abby’s father is killed by the orcs, she plans on using her intellect to avenge him.
Terra is the toughest person in Kansas. Too bad she’s not in Kansas anymore. She was kidnapped by orcs to fight in their sick and twisted battle games.
Both Abby and Terra want revenge in the form of gloopy, green orc blood. Will the blood be green, or red?
Alone, none of them stand a chance. But together they just might be enough to bring evil to its knees.
These three warriors didn’t start the war…but you can be damn sure they’re going to try to finish it. Will they succeed?
This boxed set of almost 1800 pages of action, adventure, and plenty of snark!

Love kills. So do bow-wielding assassins.
Maine’s troubles are only just beginning. The Mantle is still catnip to assassins. News of her victory is out and another liqudator of the living is after her. That would be enough trouble, if her ex wasn’t also in town, proclaiming his undying love for her.
Where was this adoration when they were dating?
To make things worse, her pint-sized best friend has visitors. Noff’s pack is being terrorized by a ruthless hunter with supernatural strength, speed, and senses.
Running with the wolves is tough…
…especially when you’re the size of a chihuahua.
This is Noff’s chance to show he’s more than a cat-sized dire wolf. If he saves the pack, maybe they’ll finally accept him. Noff is determined to prove his worth by taking on the super-hunter, which means that Maine needs to take on the super-hunter.
Who knew being a half-troll, half-human detective would suck so hard?
Maine’s screwed.
Will Maine be able to outwit her assassin, take down the super-hunter and turn away her love-sick ex-boyfriend? Dire-wolves and trolls and exes, oh my.
