2: Bloodless We Go Buried: An Earth Mother Horror
“A lyrically sharp, stunningly written, and abstractly horrifying exploration of identity and grief… part horror, part mythology, and wholly original.” – Independent Book Review
“A summons from the deep past, Bloodless We Go Buried is a long walk through the dark woods where every shadow seems to breathe, bold and emotional…raw and intimate…like I had stumbled into a hidden doorway, someone’s private ritual. The prose leans into its own intensity, [and] carries a poetic rhythm, a strange and ancient pulse. Every time I thought I knew where the story was going it would slide sideways…a weird or tender or blunt dream you carry with you afterward.” – Literary Titan

"It was a Sunday when it happened. It was hell and god was there, too.”
When myths go missing, Earth Mother rises to rattle the blood-waters in Bloodless We Go Buried, a chilling horror novel about what it means to be reborn, a tale that traces the sacred grief of a crippled father tracked by the creature-spirits of the long-ago people.
Bloodless We Go Buried is Book II in the award-winning (Fantasy Book of the Year, Finalist in Fiction) Rimwalker Series, a mythological (Irish) fantasy and Earth Mother Horror series that “weaves a vibrant tapestry of hope, resilience, and magik” (Literary Titan), and interrogates the roots of colonialism and heritage.
"There is such a thing as too much pain, too much loss. Too much taken until all that is left is hope. Hope, a thought that can easily destroy the world."
. . .
When the rubble settles, those cursed with living will talk about the great Cataclysm. Great alien armies will debate its causes. Leagues will thrust through the cosmos in search for new lands, new Earths, new science walking on the backs of its failed colleagues. Failing still.
Though they who live will mourn their lives, no one, not even the strangely suckled offspring, will understand what really happened. No one will remember. This is the cataclysm. No one will remember. For it all began with a thought.

Industry Review
Bloodless We Go Buried unfolds as an Earth Mother horror story that blends myth, ancestral memory, and a feeling of something old waking beneath the everyday world. The book moves through dreamlike scenes where the natural world feels alive and watchful. Its language carries a poetic rhythm, and the Proto Celtic threading through the chapters adds a strange and ancient pulse. The story works like a long walk through dark woods where every shadow seems to breathe, and where the characters find themselves caught between fear, kinship, and something that feels like a summons from the deep past.
The voice of the book has this raw and intimate quality that made me feel like I had stepped into someone’s private ritual. The writing style is bold and emotional. It plays around with language in ways that sometimes made me pause and reread, not because it was confusing but because it felt like I had stumbled into a hidden doorway. I liked that the horror leans more toward mood and spirit than monsters. It creeps instead of jumps. Every time I thought I knew where the story was going it would slide sideways and make me rethink what I thought I understood about the characters and the land.
At times, the prose leans into its own intensity, and I found myself both loving it and wanting to come up for air. Some passages feel almost like a personal journal or a field notebook. That mix made the book feel alive. I appreciated that the author was not afraid to be weird or tender or blunt. There is humor tucked between the shadows, too. A kind of self-awareness that kept me grounded while the story tried to lift me into stranger places.
In the end, I walked away feeling stirred and a little haunted. I would recommend Bloodless We Go Buried to readers who enjoy literary horror, mythic fiction, poetic language, and stories that feel more like a dream you carry with you afterward. If you like books that make you slow down and sink in, this one might be exactly what you are looking for.
