A Moderate Chance of Screaming
Three outlaws. One cursed relic. A lot of trouble.When a pleasure-seeking Aelari rogue, a towering half-Hryndahl, and a dangerously alluring Orzhaan warrior join forces, chaos follows close behind. Blood-soaked, darkly humorous, and dangerously fun—this is a fantasy novella where the stakes are high, the humour is sharp, and the chance of survival… moderate.
The Storm of Sleepy Hollow
The legend is broken. The Hollow is awake. When a rational schoolmaster enters a cursed valley, he encounters not mere superstition, but a sentient tempest that speaks through wind and memory. Reason falters, the night awakens, and the storm itself waits—yearning to be named by the one who dares to listen.
Ghosts of Eidolon
In the wreckage of forgotten warships, a lone scavenger discovers another survivor aboard a dying vessel. Isolation gives way to uneasy connection as the two navigate collapsing corridors and their own haunted minds—caught between survival, memory, and the faint promise of a distant light.
Orion's Phantom
A soldier whose memories are a lie. A neural device that holds the key to a deadly secret. When Milo Shepherd is branded a rogue asset, survival means trusting uneasy allies and plunging into a reality where the laws of physics—and loyalty—are fractured.
Coming May 2026

About Cassian R. Rowe
The Architect of the Jagged Continuum
Cassian R. Rowe writes bold, genre-defying fiction that exists in the Jagged Continuum—a sprawling multiverse where high-fantasy, gritty sci-fi, and noir mystery collide.He constructs worlds where myth meets menace and shadows have a voice of their own. From the spectral depths of Ghosts of Eidolon to the cold futurism of Orion’s Phantom, his prose blends sensual wit, cinematic pacing, and dark, atmospheric elegance.
Morality in the Margins
His characters are fiercely loyal, emotionally charged, and just flexible enough to survive the wreckage they create. In Cassian’s worlds, desire is dangerous, loyalty is a gamble, and 'heroism' is measured by who is left standing.
Behind the Prose
When not plotting doomed heists or sharp betrayals, Cassian is in Chicago, muttering about lost sleep, turning sinful thoughts into precise sentences, and attempting cocktails with names he can’t quite pronounce. He believes the best stories are found where you’re told not to look.
Ghosts of Eidolon
In the wreckage of forgotten warships, a lone scavenger discovers another survivor aboard a dying vessel. Isolation gives way to uneasy connection as the two navigate collapsing corridors and their own haunted minds—caught between survival, memory, and the faint promise of a distant light.
About the Book
For years, a solitary scavenger drifted through the void, surviving among the skeletal husks of lost warships. His routine—scavenge, repair, endure—was the only certainty in a cold, silent universe.Then his scanner detected an irregular, faint pulse aboard a massive derelict starship. Isolation shattered. Inside, another lone survivor waited, silent and wary, mirroring his own cautious movements.As the ship decayed around them, they navigated labyrinthine corridors of metal and memory, forming a fragile, unspoken bond. Together, they faced a final, perilous choice: stay and risk collapse, or venture into the endless wreckage toward a distant beacon of hope.Ghosts of Eidolon is a quiet, atmospheric science fiction novella exploring survival on a derelict spaceship, psychological suspense in space, and the haunting beauty of isolation. Perfect for fans of post-war sci-fi thrillers, hard sci-fi isolation stories, and space salvage adventures filled with mystery and suspense.
The Storm of Sleepy Hollow
The legend is broken. The Hollow is awake. When a rational schoolmaster enters a cursed valley, he encounters not mere superstition, but a sentient tempest that speaks through wind and memory. Reason falters, the night awakens, and the storm itself waits—yearning to be named by the one who dares to listen.
About the Book
In the late 1700s, a wandering schoolmaster arrives in a secluded glen where fear is a tangible, living thing. The Dutch villagers speak in hushed tones of a storm unlike any other: a tempest that moves with purpose, twisting the air and bending the world around it. They whisper that a headless rider, a towering funnel of dust and lightning, gallops at its fore.Ichabod Crane, a man of reason and instruments, soon finds himself measuring a growing reality that obeys no law of man. The trees bend unnaturally, the winds carry voices, and the air itself pulses with a life he cannot name.As Crane’s fascination turns to dread, the Hollow begins to close around him. Dreams spill into waking hours, compasses falter, and time itself wavers in the storm’s presence. In the whisper of leaves and the tremor of the ground, something vast and sentient stirs—a force older than the valley, older than fear itself.Sleepy Hollow is not simply haunted by a ghost; it is hunted by the storm itself. In a land where the familiar is reshaped into terror, Crane must confront a primal force that demands recognition. But the wind has a name it wants to be called...

With war looming and enemies closing in, the trio must decide what they’re willing to risk—for gold, for each other, and for the fire still burning beneath the ash.Blending gritty sword-and-sorcery adventure with dark humour, sharp blades, sharp tongues, and even sharper desires, A Moderate Chance of Screaming is a character-driven novella that promises danger, intrigue, and just enough heart to keep you cheering for the outlaws you’ll never forget.
Orion's Phantom
A soldier whose memories are a lie. A neural device that holds the key to a deadly secret. When Milo Shepherd is branded a rogue asset, survival means trusting uneasy allies and plunging into a reality where the laws of physics, and loyalty, are fractured.

About the Book
Milo Shepherd was the perfect soldier—obedient, precise, and utterly unaware that his memories are a fabrication. AstraDyne, the corporate powerhouse ruling known space, ensured his loyalty with the Neurolattice, a neural implant that turns his mind into the encryption key for Project Orion—a dangerous gate leading to the chaotic anomaly known as the Outer Vector.But the Lattice is failing. Milo’s carefully suppressed false memories are dissolving, and a forbidden starmap pulses beneath his skin. Branded a rogue asset and hunted by Brant, his former commanding officer and the man who defined his past, Milo has only two uneasy allies to rely on: Leyda Vega, the brilliant surgeon who helped build his prison, and Tess Marin, the sharp-witted smuggler whose shared history he barely remembers.Their only chance at survival is to venture into the Outer Vector, a fractured reality where the laws of physics collapse, truth is unstable, and freedom may cost Milo everything that makes him human.A pulse-pounding sci-fi thriller, Orion’s Phantom explores loyalty, memory, and identity in a universe where nothing is as it seems—and trust may be the most dangerous weapon of all.

Long Bio
The Architect of the Jagged Continuum
Cassian R. Rowe writes bold, genre-defying fiction that refuses to stay within the lines. His work exists in the Jagged Continuum—a sprawling, interconnected multiverse where high fantasy, gritty sci-fi, and noir mystery collide.He doesn’t just tell stories; he constructs worlds where myth meets menace, and shadows have a voice of their own. From the spectral depths of Ghosts of Eidolon to the cold, futuristic noir of the forthcoming Orion’s Phantom, his prose blends sensual wit, cinematic pacing, and dark, atmospheric elegance.
Morality in the Margins

Cassian’s stories explore the darker corners of desire, where temptation leads to ruin and “heroism” is measured by who is left standing when the dust settles. In his worlds, power is currency, loyalty is a gamble, and nothing—absolutely nothing—stays pure for long.
