You’ll want to feast on the vision of this evil item and fantasy weapon of the week. Sixth in the series of concept art images taken from my collection of cursed weapons forged by a dark lord. This week’s weapon; a halberd of doom. Take care not to fall beneath its shadow, for its thirst for blood is insatiable.

Hello readers, and welcome to the next post in my ‘Dark City’ series. This week re-imagines what New York would look like in a Dark Fantasy setting.
Some questions for you to ponder over while you enjoy this latest rendition…
When the Fog rolls down Fifth Avenue, which towers vanish first into its hungry veil?
What whispers echo from the runes carved into the Empire State Building’s spire — are they warnings, or invitations?
Beneath the Brooklyn Bridge, what creatures barter in the dark for the souls of those who cross after midnight?
What ancient covenant binds the gargoyles of St. Patrick’s Cathedral to the city’s protection — and what happens when it’s broken?
When the moon turns green above Central Park, what spectral procession marches through the trees, unseen by mortal eyes?
If you want to find out which city will be entering the shadows next week, you know where to come.
Until then,
Happy reading!

This deliciously dark scimitar is crying out for your attention. Fifth in a series of concept art images from my collection of cursed weapons forged by a dark lord. This week’s weapon; a curved sword that delights in the sorrow of the dead. A collector of souls with a thirst for blood.

Mesmerize yourself with the chaotic beauty of the fantasy weapon of the week. Forth in the series of concept art images from my collection of cursed weapons forged by a dark lord. This week’s weapon; a flail with dark desires, only sated when the spikes of its deadly head are embedded in flesh.

Hello readers, and welcome to the third post in my ‘Dark City’ series. Here is another city, reimagined by Gen AI in a dark fantasy setting for you to feast your eyes on. I can’t vouch for the accuracy, but key landmarks have been captured, and I hope they stir your imagination.
This week we are exploring London. So let me ask you…
‘Do ravens still guard the tower, or have they been replaced by something more sinister? How do residents keep the rancid mist they’ve dubbed ‘The Ripper’s Breath,’ from entering their lungs? What do the ‘Mud-trudgers’ truly fish for in the toxic sludge at low tide, and why do they sew their eyes shut before they begin?’
Ponder these questions while you enjoy this delightfully corrupted London cityscape.
Which city will rise from the mist next time? Come back again next week to find out.
Until then,
Happy reading!

Behold the fantasy weapon of the week. This is the second in the series of concept art images taken from a collection of cursed weapons forged by a dark lord. This week’s weapon; a hand axe that yearns to bathe in the blood of the unfortunate. It bestows a bloodlust upon its wielder that is unmatched by the fiercest of warriors.

Hello readers and welcome to the second post in my ‘Dark City’ series. In this series I’ve used Gen AI to reimagine what cities around the world would look like in a dark fantasy setting. The images generated, while not maintaining an entirely correct layout, have captured key landmarks and certainly tweak the imagination.
This week we are sticking with Australia. Here are some questions to tug at your thoughts… ‘During the Red Moon, the river swells and reaches into the streets of Kangaroo Point. Which landmarks are claimed by the tide? What damp, pale spirits are left behind when the waters finally recede? What ancient, entity slumbers in the silt beneath the Storey Bridge? What tribute must the ferrymen pay to cross its waters safely?’
Ponder these questions while you enjoy this murky Brisbane cityscape.
Which city will emerge from the shadows next time? Come back next week to find out.
Until then,
Happy reading!

Bestow your eyes upon my fantasy weapon of the week. One of a series of concept art images from my collection of cursed weapons forged by a dark lord. This is the first in the series; a short sword that thirsts for souls. It whispers to the blood-thirsty warrior. But beware… those who wield it are destined to be damned.

I thought it appropriate to start here in Australia. So let me ask you…
‘What if Melbourne’s laneways hid more than graffiti? What if something ancient still walked them? What sort of foul creature would it be? Where would it lurk?’
Ponder these questions while you enjoy this deliciously dark Melbourne cityscape.
Next week I’ll be bringing Brisbane into the gloom to sate your dark desires.
Until then,
Happy reading!
