Welcome to the Unquiet Universe

Voices in the dark

Published by Unquiet Tomb Press, The Unquiet Universe is a gothic anthology uniting a diverse array of writers within a shared fictional reality. Each contribution expands the mythology of the universe, creating a cohesive yet multifaceted exploration of identity, faith, and transformation.


Brian Blackwood is the imaginative mind behind The Rook Maison Series, a cinematic saga of dark fiction.


At its heart is Rook Maison, a body snatcher who claims his victims without a drop of blood spilled or a weapon drawn. Struggling with the collapse of his Catholic faith, Rook embarks on a perilous search for meaning in the shadow of his extraordinary abilities. What begins as a quest for understanding soon unravels into revelations about heaven and hell that defy everything he was raised to believe.

As angels and demons intervene to halt his descent, Rook’s journey becomes a battle of faith, power, and temptation. Each body he inhabits and each soul he fractures draws him deeper into a haunting exploration of identity, morality, and transformation.
