It’s that time again—the last Friday of the month!

The newest “episode” (short story/novella) of my YA supernatural series ’til the End of the World is now available to read and download for free in its beta form. If you’re following this monthly serial, Episode 4 drops today with new twists, darker stakes, and a fresh “monster‑of‑the‑week” thread woven into the ongoing story. Whether you’re discovering the series for the first time or catching up on previous instalments, this is the perfect moment to dive back into a world of demonic danger and sinister secrets.

If you fancy, you can click here for Episode 4, or head over to the dedicated ’til the End of the World page to grab any of the earlier episodes—and get sneak peeks of what’s coming next.

If you’d rather wait for the fully polished version with bonus features, the first collection is available to pre‑order in eBook now, with the paperback arriving on release day: 29th May, 2026.

Taking a cue from the early‑2000s classics it sits beside, a new threat comes to town. Sara finds herself stepping into danger, Mark and Amy struggle to keep a certain secret, and Ricky’s fear of destiny and violence comes with a cost. And the price paid for innocence is often paid in blood.

A small content note: while this is a YA series and never gratuitous, this episode does touch on heavier themes, including coercive behaviour and psychic manipulation, which may be sensitive for some readers. If that’s the case, please feel free to skip this one; next month’s episode will be perfectly accessible.

And as always, dear readers – peace and love, y’all.
