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…

  • Cutting Through

    Creator Journals 10/22/25 I’m watching the Chainsaw Man movie tonight. I’m very excited. Chainsaw Man is like my second favorite manga! Had a weird day yesterday. I felt really strange, but sitting down to write helped me calm down. I’m two chapters from being done with The Cause of Death; A Vulture’s Tale. I know…

  • Imbalance

    There’s something solid on the other side of the mirror It winks at me. I reached toward you and only Only break the glass Perforating the skin But there is no blood beneath Only the bones of a story Notes and plot outlines Prayers for silence And The reflection of your unfulfilled adolescent dreams.

  • Carry On Carrion

    Creator Journals 10/22/25 October is nearing its end. I’m happy and also sad to see it go. It has been a wild ride.  My car got damaged twice by the same construction site. Carry on. I missed another day. I was literally so tired after my podcast interview yesterday that I had to go to…

  • Here It Is

    Creator Journals 10/20/25 Here’s the blog. I’m writing it and posting it. I wish Vulture was easier for me to write. She’s a character that means a lot to be, but some element of her quintessential self is still hard for me to grasp and replicate.  Writing feels hard lately. I’m very distracted. I managed…

  • Sunday Spooky

    Creator Journals 10/19/25 No writing today, just scary movies. Longlegs and Midsommar, and a little bit of Faith: The Unholy Trinity. What a great and spooky weekend.  Tomorrow I jump back into chapter 6, and I kind of want to make some rather significant changes, so wish me luck. I wonder, if I kept mailing…

  • Creator Journals 10/18/25 The revision is coming along, but I’d rather be playing Blasphemous. The next chapter is taking a longer time to revise, or maybe I’m dragging my feet. I’m not really sure which. Either way, I think this chapter is coming out better for having a few more hours to cook.  I am…

  • Octoberal Decline

    Creator Journals 10/17/25 Starting to drag my feet a bit. I think I’m a bit burned out on output. I was hoping this wouldn’t happen. I think I have just enough in me to finish and release CoD, but I’m gonna have to rest for a little bit after that. I get up at 5:30…

  • Reborn on Gusher Day

    Creator Journals 10/16/25 Well, after about 170 days I finally missed one. I’ve decided that instead of trying to “Make it up” somehow, it would be better to just try and get past it and move on, so here I am, back on the horse.  Today is a personal holiday. I call it Gusher Day.…

  • Brain Chemistry

    Your voice in the windCalling in a way that can’t be silencedPerforates my eardrums Runs me ragged through the streetsAnd there is no place of silenceNo call to answerIn the halls of the deadWe walk onReap and sowShrink and grow In your memoryAlways in the shadowOf your damned memory

  • Facing Darker Layers

    Creator Journals 10/13/25 I got a haircut today and I don’t hate it. Haircut used to always make me feel weird, but I think I’ve locked down a style that I feel sort of comfortable with.  Off day. Took me all afternoon to revise chapter 3. I still feel like it could get better, but…
