Horror author masquerading as a fantasy author Author of Gunmetal Gods Follow the Dark Drinker Ultimate Edition campaign 👉 bit.ly/darkdrinker
Gunmetal Gods isn't all monsters & despair. At heart, it's about loss & acceptance Can you find joy after the worst thing that's happened to you? Or do you let that pain define you to the bitter end? "Not All is Lost" by Joel Chaim Holtzman From Dark Drinker Ultimate Edition Follow at the link 👇
Every book of mine has a scene where someone pierces the veil and glimpses the world of the gods. Those scenes are hard to imagine, let alone draw. For that I turn to Shimhaq. His creation is gloriously maddening. "The First Forest" from the Dark Drinker Ultimate Edition.
I want this book to melt your eyeballs. Yes, it's that time of year again. Go to your calendar and draw a big fat cthulhu on Oct 6! Link in the comment 👇
It's here. I've got the Elder Epoch Ultimate Edition dummy copy in my hands, and it's glorious!
Gunmetal Gods by Zamil Akhtar @zamakhtar.bsky.social Game of Thrones meets Arabian Nights with some cosmic horror sprinkled on top. Tbh I got it mostly for the cosmic horror which took a little while to be added to the mix, but I have the sequels ordered now nonetheless.
Death Hymns of Homara is the number 1 best selling Cosmic Horror book on Amazon right now!
First Goodreads review: "I’ve read a lot of grimdark over the past 3 years and it has been ages since I’ve felt the genuine disgust I felt with some of the characters in this book, and I wouldn’t change a thing about them. My top read of the last 6 months."
Death Hymns of Homara, a standalone medieval horror fantasy novel, has officially launched and is now available! Link is in the comment below👇
#1 New Release in Cosmic & Eldritch Horror, and it's not even out yet!
The paperback and hardcover for Death Hymns of Homara are now available to order on Amazon!
These are the works of fiction and mythology that I thought deeply about while writing Death Hymns of Homara. See any of your favorites?
What the hell is this book about? It's about a murderer who hunts murderers. One day, a woman he wants to kill begins telling him stories to prolong her life, just like in Arabian Nights. Except the stories are full of biblically accurate angels and cosmic horror. It is mental.
Let's go. Death Hymns of Homara is a standalone medieval horror fantasy novel launching on Jan 27. If you like to review what you read, come get an eARC! Form closes in 2 days. You don't need to have read any other Gunmetal Gods book to enjoy it fully. forms.gle/uvytTTamHVCG...
One of the happiest days of my author career! Together with 1100 backers and a team of awesome artists, we've raised over $155,000 to bring the Elder Epoch Ultimate Edition to life! THANK YOU!!
The Elder Epoch Ultimate Edition Kickstarter ends in 12 hours! After this, I'll finally get a good night's rest 😅
We just unlocked all our stretch goals with 35 hours to go. Can we break that mighty $150,000 barrier?
Now that I have so much art for Elder Epoch, I thought I would try my hand at a book trailer. How'd I do?
One of the best things I get to do as an author, in this age of cynical exploitation of AI, is spend a lot of my earnings paying artists to make me truly one-of-a-kind illustrations filled with heart and soul.

Just surprised my backers with perhaps my favorite add-on of all time for the Elder Epoch Ultimate Edition. It was so insanely fun to get to do these faction brooches!

This series is called GUNmetal Gods for a reason. There are guns! But did you know there are also elephants? And GUNS on top of ELEPHANTS? Art by Hazem Ameen for the Elder Epoch Ultimate Edition, which has now raised $99,000!
The Elder Epoch Ultimate Edition is touching $75K within 24 hours of launch, which means we 've smashed the 1st stretch goal and will get an additional illustration. To celebrate, here's an art reveal! This is "Blood Cloud" by Joe Requeza. Aaaah I love the dark fantasy vibes.
