Gnaw

Every city has predators.

Some wear suits. Some run charities. Some promise safety, shelter, or justice.

And some are answered.

Gnaw - The Wyrd Against the Woerm is a dark, interconnected horror novella exploring moral decay, institutional corruption, and supernatural judgment in a modern urban setting. Each chapter follows a different perspective, people trusted by society who quietly exploit it, until violence erupts in ways that feel less like murder and more like correction.

Behind the scenes, two ancient forces move through the city.

The Wyrd, a natural balance that answers cruelty with consequence.

The Woerm, an engine of corruption that spreads through systems, laws, and belief itself.

As their influence grows, the city begins to change. Patterns repeat. Rats appear. Investigations stall. Institutions bend. What seems like isolated horror reveals itself as something deliberate, patient, and inevitable.

Blending psychological horror, urban fantasy, noir, and cosmic dread, Gnaw is a story about power, predation, and the terrible cost of restoring balance in a world that profits from imbalance.

For readers who enjoy:

• Dark urban fantasy and supernatural horror

• Psychological and moral horror

The city is watching.

And something beneath it is hungry.
