Hello, friends—

I’ve written something haunting and a little beautiful that I’d like to share with you: a brand-new short story called The Thawing Names, now available both to read and to listen to as an audiobook.

It’s a dark fantasy tale of memory, betrayal, and redemption, set deep in a frozen vault where the past refuses to stay buried. Here’s the tagline:

Some truths refuse to stay buried.

In this story, Sabine Oltar is tasked with erasing names from history—until the names start writing themselves back. What follows is a chilling reckoning with the ghosts of her own choices and the truths the empire tried to silence.

I’m making both the ebook and the audiobook of The Thawing Names free for all my Patreon subscribers—current and future (should they ever exist 😅).

If you enjoy it, feel free to share your thoughts—I love hearing what resonates with you. And if you know someone else who might like stories like this, please feel free to point them this way.

Thank you for being here, for reading, and for helping me keep these strange, shadowed stories alive.

Stay warm,
—Chuck Anderson
