Who is the Dark Veil Society?

The Dark Veil Society is a collective of independent horror authors united by a shared love for the eerie, the unsettling, and the unknown. Founded by a group of self-published writers, we are storytellers who breathe life into nightmares and find beauty in the macabre. Our mission is to craft tales that linger long after the last page, to champion the dark corners of fiction where others fear to tread, and to uplift the voices of fellow creators walking this shadowy path.

We believe horror is more than a genre—it’s a mirror to humanity’s deepest fears, a conduit for truth wrapped in the guise of monsters and madness. Within the Society, we celebrate each other's successes, offer feedback, provide support, and keep the fires of creativity burning bright. From bone-chilling novellas to full-length novels that explore terror in all its forms, we work together to ensure every member has the resources and encouragement to grow their unique voice.

  • Slashers
  • Paranormal
  • Lovecraftian
  • Gothic
  • Zombie
  • Thrillers
  • Splatterpunk
  • Dark Poetry
  • and more ...

The Dark Veil Society isn’t just a group—it’s a movement. As we build our presence and community, we look forward to future collaborations, anthologies, and shared nightmares that bear our name. If you write horror, read horror, or live for that delicious moment when the light flickers and the room goes silent, you’ve found your people. Step beyond the veil… we’ve been waiting.

Dark Bloom

by Molly Macabre

A darkly atmospheric book, brimming with action, violence and gore, which also packs an emotional punch that’ll leave a gaping bloody hole in your chest.

Sinner's Pass

by S.S. Fitzgerald

I think my jaw is sore from how frequently it was agape. S.S. Fitzgerald lured me in with the title and dragged me down to the depths of hell with this book.

Sacred Valley

by Shaun M. Jooste

[Sacred Valley] sucked me in and kept me guessing where the story was going to go! Now it's an original series that pays homage to the Silent Hill series and I've been looking forward to the sequel that has been years in the making!
