Author Paul! Lang

“The beast of the gulch is on the move. It hunts without reason. It kills without eating. Its prey is the sound of a beating heart. Within the shallows of the gulch dwells death.”

Book 9 of The Kingdom’s Disdain is available now!

  • A poem inspired by The Muse of Cold Earth. Special Effects  Chest pain Is a constant  A wall between myself and the body There is a chronology that I am separated from as I hover  Above the flesh, noncommittal Like a prince who can’t make up his mind You’re falling into the water You’re stumbling…

  • Duel

    Weaving beneath the tides of the sea I Follow the tides Rising Falling Coming up to deny the air Going beneath to collect salt deposits For what is life without flavor and seasoning And what is death without a reason to die  Cliffs stained with red Shores dried out like bones And a war with…

  • Having Dreams

    Creator Journals 8/12/25 Today, I wrote my first 300 words at the dentist. Yes. Actually like on the dentist chair, head leaned back and everything. They were very polite there, but they did make me wait a while in that room. I was out until about 1PM, then I came home and went back to…

    Creator Journals 8/10/25 Sunday. I’m out with friends all weekend. I went to see a double-feature. Weapons and The Bad Guys 2. Both very similar movies.

  • Eleven

    Creator Journals 8/9/25 I’m proud of the work I’ve done, and the work I’m doing. Chapter 9 is well underway, and I believe this story will have 11 chapters. That feels like a strange number. It feels more proper to end things on an even number.  “Why is that?” I ask myself, and there is…

  • Thursday BK Update

    Creator Journals 8/7/25 No character bio today. I think I want to reveal the 4th member of the Sea Larks in the story proper.

    It’s gray out But the warm sun blasts through the ceiling of clouds Filling my body with Essential heat Vitamins  And a means to alchemically produce  Happiness In material form But we long for the dark  So that we can peer down empty streets with  Lightless eyes And claim that we see the world for…
