Hugo the BloodLess-An Epic Fantasy Novel: 2025
⋆
One of the greatest historical fiction novelists I've ever read!
“This is an extraordinary book. The fantastic world has the sense of deep history all too often lacking in fantastic stories, the kind of history that isn't just there to motivate the story but exists on its own terms, for itself. The writing is clear and precise and often beautiful. The characters are real; more, they are unpredictable yet choate, the way real people are. The dialogue makes sense, like there real humans talking, it doesn’t feel scripted. And did I mention the writing? I did? Oh, okay. I'll shut up about it then.”
The Order is perhaps the coolest sea faring novel I've ever read. It's got everything. Jack's writing is so beautiful and pristine it makes me shed tears.
What a horrifying story. His black plague book set in medieval France may almost be too scary to comprehend.
I've known Jack for almost six years at this point. Can't believe we met on a damn Minecraft server. When I figured out one of my best buddies was writing stories like this I had to be apart of it. Don't stop dude. Finish your journey on writing every type of novel ever until they day you die. You have a gift.
It's amazing. His writing is so descriptive I can paint it in my head. It's like a movie without the visuals, but just on pages.
“The Spirit of the sea and the richness of the hearty life aboard a whaling ship is depicted so well. You get a sense of what life possibly would have been like during this time, and let me tell you friends, it was gruesome and grand at the same time.”
“Once again, Jack never fails. Another epic armada on sea and land.”
“A god in the making. No one can write fantasy quite as good as Jack. It seems like whatever time period or style he dives into he ends it with a flush. I truly think this man will be a living writing prince wither he is dead or not. His books will live on as one of the greatest storytellers this world can offer.”
Here's a small short story for you to get started with! A horror filled tale full of gritty ruin and tormented thought!

Peyton Farquhar, a civilian who is also a wealthy planter and slave owner, is being prepared for execution by hanging from an Alabama railroad bridge during the American Civil War. Six military men and a company of infantryman are present, guarding the bridge and carrying out the sentence. Farquhar thinks of his wife and children and is then distracted by a noise that, to him, sounds like an unbearably loud clanging; What could it be? A thump of a stone? The rushing of the stream below his feet? The dangerous creaking of the noose around his neck? He considers the possibility of jumping off the bridge and swimming to safety if he can free his tied hands, but can he? Can he make it home through the forest?
This is a short story I wrote many years ago while still in school! A lot of my writing has changed since then but I think it was interesting to give you a taste of when I was eighteen with stories buzzing around in my head. So this one his free! On the house! Enjoy!

In a town, there is a grave yard. Where the soil parts, the hands of the dead arise. Within this village, they come in pairs, their bones and flesh, rattling and shaking. It's a dance you see, a jive, a jeer. It sways and moves with the wind and leaves, pumpkins fat as autumn trees. So join the fray, dance till you drop, you really won't want to stop.
In fair Bretagne there was a town,
right where the golden sun sunk down.
With craggy cliffs o’er em’rald seas,
Leaves of violent red and trees of mint green
Twisted and twirled in the air like steam
The trees were beautiful to be seen
Danced upon the wind like the dead in a dream
It crouched against the vicious breeze.

Along the desolate lonely deserts on an alien wasteland of an unknown planet, where human flesh and machine are combined as one: a simple curator and keeper of the dead, goes about his normal duties aboard The Tomb. Souls sent from distant lands in a chosen trail to deem worthy. A city in itself, Polis, where corpses are succumbed to the feeding of the soul, it is breathed out into the cosmos by a magical touch for The Silent Yellow King to devour. Strange the Keeper may be in figure and in mind, he walks the black steel steps that had once held many like himself, long gone and lost to time, he is satisfied with taking his rightful place within the coffins.
Suddenly, a young girl from another planet is transported to The Tomb. Filled with peppering questions for the curator, a bubbly attitude, and an intelligence unlike any for her age, The Keeper of the dead, might just be in for a different type of luck, a unique person he has never crossed paths before within his fragile existence.
Along the shore the cloud waves break, The twin suns sink behind the lake, The shadows lengthen
In Polis.
Strange is the night where black stars rise, And strange moons circle through the skies But stranger still is
Lost Polis.
Songs that the Hyades shall sing, Where flap the tatters of the Yellow King, Must die unheard in
Dim Polis.
Song of my soul, my voice is dead; Die thou, unsung, as tears unshed Shall dry and die in
Lost Polis.

This story is something of an exception for me. Actually, that’s a vast understatement. The truth is, there’s nothing about this story that’s normal for me. Normally I write multilayered epic- fantastical thingers, raging historical epics, that clock in at a quarter million words or more. This story has a single plot, and it’s only about seventeen hundred words. Whoa. Crazy. Normally it takes me a long time to finish something—months. Years. I wrote this story in a single day. Yep. That’s right. But I wanted to go for a fairytale flavor for this one. I revise like... well...like a writer, really. Get advice from the woman. I take a story through dozens if not hundreds of revisions before I’m happy or satisfied with it. But once I was done with this story on that first day, it was really, really finished. I changed about eight words, maybe five sentences, added a few lines, extra descriptions, and that’s it.The story itself is a little odd. It’s from an odd perspective, and it covers a vast scope of time. The main character is odd. The language is odd. I’ve read it out loud a couple times, in a night, and I’ve found the sound of it to be...well...odd. Rhythmic. Almost like a chant. For all that, I have to say I’m a little proud of it.
In the beginning, there was the wood. It was a strong wood. It was an old wood. There was warm sun, which was good. There were climbing vines, which were bad. There was wind, which was neither. There was also the Lady. She was neither. There was the tree. It was beautiful.

There's a lot to know of colors. About them. Their taste and buoyancy, their look and style. Their vibrant, their bright, their dolloped dull or dark, their the foundation of our society. There all things tangible and all things brilliant. Perhaps that is why the painter or the poet adore them so. Perhaps that is why the masks we wear are beautiful and divine in its own right. A rich tapestry that adds depth, beauty, and meaning to our world. They are the soft strokes of an artist's brush, breathing life into a blank canvas. Colors have the power to evoke emotions, convey messages, and inspire awe in their magnificent presence. They are sensory, inviting us to explore their vividly paints, through sight and touch. We can feel the warmth of a golden sunrise, the coolness of an azure ocean, or the plush of rose petals beneath our fingertips. Colors have a way of enveloping us, creating immersive experiences that transcend language and pinch our souls. Colors are the language of nature, adorning landscapes with breathtaking vistas. They paint sunsets with hues that blend seamlessly from fiery oranges to dreamy purples. They sprinkle flower fields with a kaleidoscope of blossoms, each stem telling a story of life's beauty. Colors bring forth the changing seasons, from the vibrant greens of spring to the fiery reds of autumn, to white crystals of winter, revealing the eternal cycle. They can rapture feeling, they can propel joy and love, sadness and fear, anger and rage, loyalty and lies, kindness and care, anxiety and temptation, guilt and loathing, dark jealousy and battling power. They ignite passions, they seize our beating hearts, they alight our eyes and tremble the senses. A woven fabric to our existence, our expressions. A red thread over a faint lining. Yes, that is what it is. What it must be.

There is no plague in Enfaire. Not like Normandy or Paris. Not even in Lourdes. It is a quiet place.
Dead things have been found in the fields of Enfaire, a God-fearing town north of Reams. Not just dead things but twisted forms, dark forms… unholy shapes. And there are rumors, too—of a blasphemous union and of fell creatures that haunt the night. Yet, even as plague and witch pyres blacken the sky, the town remains untouched by the malady that has already claimed thousands and will claim thousands more.
It is here, in Enfaire, that an old Franciscan friar and his young ward take shelter from a storm. It is here, in a little town on the edge of civilization, in the crooked valleys, that they will have their faith truly tested.
In this short tale of medieval horror, plunge into the plague-torn land of 14th century France, when pestilence and death walked hand-in-hand, and life was little more than a sputtering candle, waiting to be put out. But there are worse things than death, then sickness and decay… and it comes upon leathery black wings.

OH sweet child of mine
What shall you grow to be
In this dreadful beautiful world
So cruel and kind
Listen! My words, a guiding light,
To lead you through darkness, day and night.
For in my voice, you'll find your way,
And know my love will always stay.
I can surely see it in my mind,
Yes indeed,
I see, I see, I see
What shall perhaps you come to be?
In this epic long poem that spans over nearly one hundred pages, more than a span of days itself, embark on a loving powerful rhyming song, voiced from a kind, caring mother to her child about what perhaps he could grow up to be? From farmers, candlemakers, perfumers, dutiful knights, generals of war, knavish kings, treacherous thief's, astrologers, teachers, and soft souls, read along to this lovely couplet as a worrying Mother desperately decides and hopes, what her little boy might become. Some are biased, some more-so than others. What pray, will this tale tell? A good man or an evil tyrant? Lessons are learned, respect is earned, peace is traveled too, love is sought, and happiness found. Amazing alliteration, beautiful prose, and a story of loss and fear, despair and death, bright and true, what will this son, as he gets older, ultimately choose what he so desires most?

London, 1888. Alone on a rainy evening, a young Frenchman is found along the cobbled streets of downtown London. He was starving, his stomach shattering, penniless and poor. That is until he stumbles around a corner, rain soaked his face and clothes. There is a dark wood parlor. A lone man, a stranger, standing on the edge, sheltered from the rain. He's dressed in all black from head to toe. It looks warm in the cold, wan candlelight fluttering through its door. The smell of sweet opium smoke in the night air. Feeling sorrow and pity for the youth, the older gentlemen offers a drink and respite from the shivering slush of Victorian England. Over a green bottle of Absinthe, the two men sit in a tiny booth, sharing glasses. The Green Fairy, The Green Devil, The Green Ghost, whatever you like to call it, it will take a man, take his soul. Then they gamble, they bet, they drink more and more. And as the night grows long and dark and bitter, questions, answers are exchanged disturbingly, and Pendulum Kippers soon finds himself in the dim company of someone he did not except...
Absinthe the beckoner of the heart, the teary eyed pulling string of the dark. So join. Join the vetuer-le, the green hour, and come drink your stuff, and revel in it's mists.

In 1831, the HMS Beagle set off from England under the command of Captain Finn Fitzroy on a voyage around South America that would change the world forever. Mr. Finn Fitzroy, a budding new Captain with a bright berth was awaiting for him to sail the treacherous waters of the hot South, to seek his destiny in discovery, in the great name of exploration and science. Traveling through the desolate beaches and thick jungles of an untamed ancient continent, Fitzroy makes unbelievable finds and glorious treasures during his journey that not only changes his mind towards God but the world around him. Alongside his adventurous officers, boys, and crew men is Charles Darwin, an upcoming naturalist wanting to make his fortune in London on philosophy and natural history, to shape the new found globe that all human ancestors descend from traumatic transmutated beasts. Exotic landscapes, wild natives, and the quenching honey drip of the call to adventure, embark on a riveting and sad tale of Finn Fitzroy, depicting his life from a brand new man in his Captaincy up until his death. This is the story of a deep friendship between two men, and the twin obsessions that tear them apart, leading one to triumph, and the other to disaster.
With over nine months of intense research, I tried to create an epic novel as historically accurate as possible. This is a true story. The characters you will walk alongside with, were real. The events that occurred happened as the story is foretold. Read the lovely tale of Captain Finn Fitzroy from mariner hero to absolute ruin.
