Step into a world where the stories you thought you knew were only half-told.

In the Never After series, fairy tales twist into gothic nightmares. Cursed creatures speak their truths. Haunted reflections watch from shadowed mirrors. Heroines discover power in the darkness that was meant to consume them. These are not bedtime stories—they are sharp, hungry, and full of secrets.

Within these pages, you will find:

Salt in Their Hair
Smoke in Their Lungs
Slime on Their Skin
Glass in Their Eyes
Blood in Their Stomach
Ashes in Their Teeth
Thorns in Their Heart
Feathers in Their Throat

Every tale is told from the perspective of the creatures who live—and suffer—within them. These are the twisted truths that linger beneath “once upon a time.” These are the stories your parents wouldn’t let you read.

Happily ever after was a lie. Welcome to Never After.

Step into the shadows where myth and memory collide.

From haunted hollows to storm-tossed seas, from whispered Appalachian legends to creatures pulled from the darkest corners of global folklore, the Archives by M.M. Crusinberry invites you to journey into the places where the veil is thin.

In these anthologies, changelings slip into cradles, selkies shed their skins by moonlight, witches weave webs of fate, and sirens sing men to watery graves. Each volume gathers tales of ghosts, monsters, cryptids, and witches — stories rooted in folklore yet reimagined with chilling intimacy.

But the series doesn’t stop with old-world legends. In Where Legends Lie and the Unknown Collide, folklore twists into modern myth — government conspiracies, cryptid encounters, and unexplained phenomena that blur the line between truth and nightmare.

Whether drawn from the Appalachian mountains, the coasts of Ireland, or the hidden archives of whispered history, these tales share one truth: legends never die. They wait. They whisper. And when the night is quietest, they rise.

Perfect for fans of folklore, dark fantasy, paranormal horror, and myth retellings, the Archives are a haunting exploration of the stories that shape us — and the shadows we cannot escape.

From hidden margins to shattered worlds, the Echoes Series weaves myth, history, and conspiracy into a sweeping saga of lost civilizations, forbidden knowledge, and the fragile fate of humanity.

It begins in The World in the Margin and the acclaimed Margin Trilogy, where ordinary lives brush against the extraordinary—revealing cracks in reality and whispers of a deeper truth.

Through Bridge: Echoes of Erasure + Lost Worlds, those fragments collide, pulling unlikely heroes into a conflict that spans continents and ages. What was once dismissed as legend—Atlantis, Lemuria, Asgard, Babel, even the secrets buried beneath Antarctica—proves to be not only real, but perilously connected.

In Echoes of Asgard and Lemuria, Echoes of Babel, and Echoes of Atlantis, each lost realm resurfaces in vivid detail, their myths unraveling into living history. Cataclysms long thought forgotten threaten to repeat, while ancient technologies and languages hold both the key to survival—and the seed of destruction.

Finally, in Final Convergence: Cataclysm’s Chorus, all paths converge in a world-spanning reckoning, where fractured civilizations and timeless powers collide. The fate of Earth, and the echoes of all who came before, hang in the balance.

For fans of mythic fantasy, speculative history, and epic conspiracies, the Echoes Series is a journey across worlds seen and unseen—where every legend is a warning, and every margin hides a doorway.

The world forgets what it fears.

Beneath oceans, forests, and shadows lie creatures whose stories were stolen, twisted, or hidden away—cryptids, spirits, and beings of legend, waiting for the tide, the wind, or the shadows to remember them.

In Whispers of Forgotten Fables, each darkly reimagined tale is told from the perspective of the forgotten, the imprisoned, the misunderstood. From selkies bound by stolen skins to ancient creatures of myth awakening from centuries of slumber, these stories explore vengeance, legacy, and the moral reckoning that comes when humans meddle with the magical and the unknown.

Guided by the pulse of the tide, the whisper of the wind, and the children who inherit the powers of forgotten lore, these tales reclaim the stories of the lost—revealing the haunting beauty, danger, and power of legends untold.

Enter a world where the shadows remember, the fables rise again, and the whispers of the forgotten will not be silenced.

M.M. Crusinberry’s poetry series—including Scream, Alone, Anxiety, and Sad—is an unflinching exploration of the inner landscape of pain, isolation, and survival. Each collection is a raw, lyrical snapshot of the human condition, offering a voice to the emotions we often bury too deep to name.

Crusinberry crafts verses that do not shy away from the darkness—instead, they confront it head-on. Through themes of mental health, loneliness, inner turmoil, and emotional resilience, this series invites readers to witness the silent battles fought behind closed doors. The poems are hauntingly honest, yet delicately crafted, resonating with anyone who has felt overwhelmed by life’s weight.
