Necroepilogos, polymechanus - 17.2

A million schemes burst out from the grave and scuttle wide across a landscape of concrete and bone, to spread their webs between the unlives of the undead. Look out, zombie girls! You're it.

Necroepilogos, polymechanus - 17.1

A grave lies open, coffin lid long-shattered. A worm walks free, no longer wrapped in ensoiled souls, but loose once more upon the world. Look out, you zombie girls. Here she comes.

Do immortal and infinite worms dream of eternal sheep? Does the worm sleep at all, or has it lain awake in the dark all this time, blaming itself for the night?

Chapters crawl from the black soil between the cities, running wild on high heath and low fen and the byways of the dripping woods, trailing the fog of dreams in their ragged wake.

Launch post!!! New story! Story story story!

Ahem.

I have no idea what to say here. I've been so incredibly excited to finally reveal this story to everybody, and now it's actually happening. I hope you all enjoy these first two chapters just as much as I have enjoyed writing them! Of course, I can't say anything about the story itself just yet, not until you've actually started rea...

November 13th Necroepilogos chapter will be delayed by one week — but, readers will get an extra chapter in the future.

Hello everyone! I’ll try to keep this short.

tl;dr version: Due to a very silly scheduling screw-up on my part, I’m going to delay this week’s Necroepilogos chapter, even though I really don’t want to do so. However! To make up for this, sometime in the next few weeks, I will publish two Necroepilogos chapters at once.

That’s pretty much ...

Necroepilogos, deluge - 16.9

Worms in the earth and the earth full of worms; what meat does the graveworm feast upon? The corpse of the earth, swarming with the dead, of course.

Some Necromancers don't have time for zombie shenanigans, they just want to do the job and get out; and then there's Lykke, who can't get enough of Elpida's fists.

Too bad for her. Now she’s one of them.

Necroepilogos, deluge - 16.7

Half a league, half a league, half a league onward. But Pheiri's not six hundred, and he's the one with the cannons. As the lady said, little brother; run that Necromancer over!

A voice from the ruins, a call from the dark, a bumping in the universal night. Do zombie girls dare answer, shouting back into the unknown? Or is it better to stay quiet and hide from the hunters beyond?
