Just finished a cosmic-horror fantasy short story about finding strength while in the depths of despair, for a secret anthology I can't talked about yet. Very proud of this one!

Just finished reading the final volume of Berserk. Holy hell what a wild ride. If there was ever a sister series for Gunmetal Gods, one that shared its themes, grit, and madness-inducing cosmological ideas, it's Berserk.

"If I had needed any further convincing of Zamil’s rightful place on the divan of Lovecraftian horror/fantasy authors after reading Gunmetal Gods, Death Rider cemented his position in my mind." 🤘

Many readers tell me this is the best scene in the book. This is the moment they realized Gunmetal Gods was not what it seemed. Here is "Green Fire" by Andrew Maleski BTW, only 3 days remain to back the Conqueror's Blood Ultimate Edition! Link below 👇

🦑 GUNMETAL GODS 🦑 Gunmetal Gods by @zamakhtar.bsky.social is a mystical, bloody descension into the dark cosmic horrors of vengeful gods, ruthless conquers, and devastating religious zealotry. Full Review by the_dragon_reread linked below.

This coin is a literal monetary coin from the Gunmetal Gods world, minted in the Seluqal Kingdom of Alanya. It's about the size and heft of a US silver dollar, with beautiful ridges and embossing. Here is what all the Arabic means!

I don't show these off enough. The bookmark designs for the Conqueror's Blood Ultimate Edition are just *chef's kiss*. The one on the right is a new design we added today and it has the original Conqueror's Blood art on it! See more at: www.kickstarter.com/projects/zam...
