On A Dark & Crooked Path
A Dark & Crooked Tale Book OneBy Axel vale
Length2h 1m
About this audiobook
Axel Vale is a British author whose work lives at the intersection of dark fantasy, psychological horror, philosophy, and speculative fiction. His stories are not designed to provide answers. They are designed to leave fingerprints on the reader's mind.
On A Dark & Crooked Path is the gateway into that world. Part coming-of-age tale, part cosmic mystery, and part psychological descent, it invites listeners into Mourningford, a place where old houses remember, the dead refuse to stay silent, and some doors are opened only once.
Listen carefully.
You're probably not paying enough attention.
