Meet the Architects of the Abyss—Our Authors
At Obsidian Skull Press, we don’t just publish stories and books—we cultivate a sanctuary for the voices that refuse to be silenced.
Our authors are the lifeblood of this press. Without their vision, their courage to descend into the shadows, and their relentless dedication to the craft, Obsidian Skull Press would be nothing more than an empty vessel. We believe, without a shadow of a doubt, that our authors are the finest storytellers working today. They are the architects of the nightmares we cherish and the visionaries behind the worlds we inhabit.
These are not just writers; they are truth-tellers. They explore the complexities of existence, provoke uncomfortable questions, and shatter conventions. We are honored to serve as the platform for their craft.
Welcome to the collective. Browse the archives, discover the minds behind the ink, and prepare to be transformed.
For over three decades, TL Hutton has served as a curator of the shadows, traversing the stygian realms of cultural dark, horror, and speculative fiction. A Mexican-Cherokee author and designer, TL stands as the macabre visionary madman behind Obsidian Skull Press, crafting haunting literary landscapes that rend the flesh of societal trauma, exposing the raw, darkened corners of the human and inhuman experience. Harboring a background in landscape architecture and graphic design fuels his unique creative and narrative process, resulting in prose that is as structurally sound as it is viscerally—if not unapologetically—unsettling. Through his lens, horror becomes a potent tool for cultural, social, and personal excavation. Currently pursuing a BA in Creative Writing—with an MFA on the horizon—Hutton continues to build a body of work that challenges readers to confront the terrors hidden within our history and society.
Cassandra Knightshade is an MFA candidate in Creative Writing and an indie author who explores dark fiction, psychological tension, and the supernatural. Her work is influenced by her mixed heritage, including Native American roots, as well as her spiritual practice in paganism. She is particularly drawn to themes of transformation, identity, and the unseen forces that shape human experience.
