The Tenth Muse
The dead have been guiding history all along.
When a young professor enters a mysterious Mexican castle, his obsession with a forgotten 19th-Century poet draws him into a civil war among the literary dead—and forces him to confront the ghosts of his own past…
The Tenth Muse is a completed, 98,000-word Gothic fantasy that blends dark academia with speculative literary fiction.
Step into a world of haunted corridors, secret stairwells, and vengeful dead poets.
“It’s clear I’m little more than a jester to this crowd. Heck. Whatever it takes to survive.”
—Mallory, Memoirs of a Skeleton Valet
