A rusty background with hexagonal shapes. Text: Freddie A. Clark writes Science Fiction, Grimdark and Horror with a Cyberpunk and biomech twist. Based in Milan, Clark lives with three cats, their partner, and a massive collection of Venetian masks. They draw their creativity from ‘80s aesthetic, movies and pop culture, and from an endless pile of books, graphic novels, manga and video games. The art of H.R. Giger and Zdzisław Beksiński influenced them immensely, took over their mind, and gave them the ability to spawn nightmares through words. A rusty background with hexagonal shapes. Text: WHAT IS CHANGING? 💀 My stories are going to be darker and my worlds harsher. That's why I updated the genre Adult SFF as Grimdark in my bio. The world of MAKING MONSTERS is basically hopeless and the story is mostly set in a prison. Nobody is innocent and not even the MC is a hero. 💀 I will NOT write romantic subplots until it's 100% clear what my genres are and I feel comfortable enough to add them again. The only exceptions are the stories I write and publish as F.A. Clark. Follow @faclarkmonster on Instagram if fairy tale-ish, hopeful stories are more up your alley. Don’t say I didn’t warn you. A rusty background with hexagonal shapes. Text: WHAT IS CHANGING? 💀 I'm going to have more fun and conform less and less to publishing rules, because I'm an artist and writing is self-expression to me. There's no point in being a writer if I can't be creative. I might make strange choices such as music comps, weird formatting, and chaotic asides/interludes. 💀 When MAKING MONSTERS is finally done and ready to be published, I'll finish CHRYSALIS and focus on my next novel. I won't share anything about my next WIP until the final draft is done. A rusty background with hexagonal shapes. Text, framed by skull-shaped dividers: WELCOME TO HELLGATE. ENJOY YOUR STAY.

This snippet will make it into the final version because I'm proud of it! It sounds like the opening to an '80s action movie and that's exactly what I hoped for.

THE WITCHER meets ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK and DEVIL MAY CRY meets THE MANDALORIAN in MAKING MONSTERS, a Grimdark SFF novel.

A dark background splattered with red stains, outlined in white barbed wire. Text: When the government of Sulphuria decided to turn the island of Meropis into a maximum-security prison, its main goal was gathering all the worst criminals who had set foot in the city and isolating them from society. Meropis was renamed Hellgate, a heartless pit which only had one rule: A dark background splattered with red stains, outlined in white barbed wire. Text: THE SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST. A dark background splattered with red stains frames a collage with 9 pictures, outlined in white barbed wire. The pictures are: a crumbling abandoned city, blood, a leather jacket with sharp metal spikes, a mannequin surrounded by flames, text reading “THIS IS THE END" on a red wall, hanging metal chains, a pile of guns, a bloody hand dripping liquid, another ruined cityscape. Text: Who’s the real monster?

F.A. Clark is my good twin who writes odd stuff anyway, but with happy endings. 🌝

I'll use this name occasionally for romantic short stories and novellas. I'll still publish my main books (SFF and Horror) as Freddie A. Clark.

Text: Naomi has always had a soft spot for others, including her big family and chaotic friends, but often feels like her city life is lonely and uneventful. Krampus is used to mindlessly following orders from his superiors in Hell, a fate that he has inevitably accepted, and has resigned himself to never expect more from his own life. When Naomi's neighbor passes and unexpectedly includes Naomi in her will, she takes a holiday to explore her newly-inherited chalet in the mountains. But when she finds the beast unconscious in the snowy woods, she takes him back to the house to save his life. The krampus becomes her guest as Naomi nurses him back to health, and as they stay in the chalet together, they form an unlikely relationship that begins to get steamy and... complicated.
