SUMMER CULLiNG
Told through an ever expanding collection of microstories, short stories, novelettes, novellas, and audio dramas, the events of Summer Culling take place between the inciting Carrington Event of 2012 and the days leading up to Spring Peeling.
Though many of the stories are short, punchy horrors, we also get a glimpse into what happens when an entire civilization is suddenly catapulted back to a technological age of which they’d spent the past century and a half growing out of. Blessed Vessel was originally a novelette and part of this collection.
Summer Culling, Volume One, is available now. Jon has a special place in his heart for short fiction, and intends to release at least two more volumes (and maybe some one-offs) over the course of the Post Carrington Project.
SPRiNG PEELiNG
Spring Peeling is the book that served as seed and soil for the Post Carrington Universe. The initial draft was completed over the course of nine weeks (March-May 2025) at nearly four-hundred pages. Jon has spent the past year building upon the foundation that was laid during the birth of this first book, cultivating the world of Post Carrington.
Spring Peeling kicks off the meeting of Sam & Stig, our cursed pair of protagonists with a shared problem: neither of them can die. The same cannot be said for those around them. Their paths cross within a dystopian theme park run by a maniacal child prodigy. Nuff said.
BLESSED VESSEL
Blessed Vessel is a fast-paced comedy action horror with elements of LITRPG, akin to a light novel.
In the middle of a charity casino night, attendees are suddenly thrust into a waking nightmare wherein their minds and bodies are swapped about. When the swirling ceases, nobody is themselves, and there’s a black fog over the city. Also there are giant, glowing bugs. And also maybe something is hunting them. And also maybe, at one point, there’s an orgy massacre.
Blessed Vessel is mostly finished and expected to release summer of 2027.
WiNTER SPLiNTER
After the events of Spring Peeling, Sam & Stig are stuck together.
Over the next century, the begrudgingly immortal duo try their best to stay out of trouble.
Their intentions pure, hell finds them time and time again.
Told through a series of novelettes (or “episodes”), Winter Splinter explores what it’s like trying to come to terms with being—practically speaking—a demigod.
