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…

  • Week Begins

    Creator Journals 11/17/25 Just another Monday in my mature, adult life. I finished a little side project I was stuck on today. It took some pushing. I had to make myself some dark chocolate hot coco and put extra coffee in it, but now that I’ve cleared the debris off the track, I think the…

  • Cool Sunday

    Creator Journals 11/16/25 It’s Sunday, I’m rewatching Captain Laserhawk on Netflix. Nonstop nonsense. I loved it. I hope one day I can write weird cartoon shows. One time when I was down on my luck, I wrote an email to Adult Swim and told them to hire me.  Now The Holidays are coming and all…

  • Wine Stains

    Blended fabric forms the web As I’m tangled in your  Many limbs The storm of man and blood and soul And a woman out of time Struggling to breach the subject Of an attack on the palace  Her people ransacked  The rations burned By godless heathens But I’m just a fly, and what can I…

  • Keep Doing It

    Creator Journals 11/11/25 I need to stop being surprised when I have a day that feels off. Half of my days are like that, maybe more, but I’m always surprised and flustered.

  • The Passing of Seasons

    Creator Journals 11/8/25 It’s cool out, but I’m cooler. It’s November 8th. Twelve years ago, something very unpleasant happened to me. Damn. Twelve years. How has it already been twelve years?
