Every myth begins with someone who swears it's over.
When journalist Mara Vex drove into the fog-choked town of Murkveil, she thought she was chasing another ghost story for her cult podcast Truth's End. What she found instead was a nightmare made of flesh, ash, and guilt.
Beneath Murkveil's rotting churches and bone-filled bogs, five local legends stir: the Howl, the Mirror Hag, the Marrow Reaper, the Void Wraith, and the Cinder Orphan, each one a living fragment of an ancient entity known only as the Veil. The myths feed on fear, carving their marks into those who dare to remember them. And when Mara's podcast begins to go viral, her words become the Veil's voice, spreading its infection far beyond the town's borders.
Haunted by her brother's suicide, hunted by an escaped axe murderer, and scarred by the symbols burning under her own skin, Mara must descend through Murkveil's secrets to uncover the truth: that the myths aren't stories at all, but limbs of something vast, sentient, and hungry.
Each relic she destroys brings her closer to the Veil's heart, and closer to losing what's left of her humanity. The glass grows under her skin. The voices whisper through her veins. The mirror smiles when she doesn't.
Told through fevered confession and fractured memory, The Bleeding Grimoire is a descent into living myth, a gothic nightmare of body horror, psychological dread, and cosmic despair, where guilt writes its own scripture and truth feeds the monster.
Because in Murkveil, myths don't die. They listen. They wait.
And they always find a new storyteller.
