Dark fantasy by H.R. Zimmerer

The fiction in progress

I’m currently writing my first dark fantasy series. I’m drawn to worlds with long histories and complicated relationships: what people conceal from those they love, what they believe they’re entitled to, and what happens when someone finally refuses them.

I’ll share selected excerpts and updates here as the work develops.

What you’ll find here

Selected excerpts, notes on the work, and occasional updates as the series develops. The manuscript is still in progress; excerpts and publication news will be added when they are ready to share.

Elsewhere in the Chronicle

While the fiction takes shape, read my poetry or explore the Middle-earth essays. I return to Tolkien’s work every year, sometimes more often.
