If you’ve found your way here, you’ve probably figured out my name is Jasper L. Walker - author, community builder, and champion of Grimdark culture.

I like long walks on the beach- just kidding. I write stories designed to devastate and emotionally scar. Why? Because the books that broke me are the ones I remember the most fondly. I also love to spread that Grimdark love and foster a place of authors and readers together, organize amazing events with genre-giants like Mark Lawrence & Glen Cook, and keep r/GrimdarkEpicFantasy the amazing community it is. That’s the legacy I want to share with you.

But what do my readers think?

PRAISE FROM THE ABYSS

A READER'S DESCENT INTO THE SHATTERED LINE

​

EMOTIONAL IMPACT:

"You've created believable and enjoyable characters, and your mastery of emotions is wonderful."

"Oh... the desperation of this is heart breaking."

"Sobbing.. Damn it all."

"My worst nightmare brought to life."

"What a chapter! That moment of hope was cruel and amazing!"

"This is just like reading a Brian Lumley Necroscope novel! I love it. I'm absolutely hooked."

"...this escalation has been steady and well thought out. There isn’t a parent alive that reads this chapter that isn’t going to feel the gut punch of that “I’m scared, daddy” line. It stopped me in my tracks..."

INTENSITY & CHAOS:

"Wow, that was intense and very fun to read!"

"Oh. My, Gawd. This is insane!"

"This is chaotic and amazing, like an insane and desperate D&D battle."

"I feel like you ripped my soul out of my throat with this chapter. Standing ovation!"

CRAFT & TWISTS:

"The plot is getting thicker and twistier..."

"You don't artificially hide info-refreshing!"

"The beauty of your twists is that they are 100% believable..."

"You revel in the grimness of your world without making it cliche."

"WHAT?! The twist brought another twist!"

CHARACTER POWER:

"Khanis is unhinged but also highly intelligent.. Bravo!"

"I knew it was Elias before reading his name-fantastic!"

"This might be the best writing I’ve seen yet! There’s so much emotion and character development here it is captivating. Fantastic!"

"I am feeling sorry for Khanis, and I don’t know if I hate that fact or not. There’s no clear line with what he is doing, and that confusion is very compelling. I love when the antagonist has a point!"

"Why isn't he thinking their names????? WHAT DID YOU DO??? "

"Jasper you are an evil, twisted, nasty little genius."

"Edge. Of. My. Seat."

​

Damn, those quotes are good. I can hear you salivating.
