Author Description

Darkblood: The Last Line is a flash fiction anthology where ancient gods bleed into modern lives, myths fracture under human will, and rebellion is as sacred as destiny. Across these haunting, lyrical, and often brutal stories, gods fall silent, sirens refuse to sing, celestial bloodlines crumble, and ordinary people confront the unbearable weight of the divine. From frostbitten mountain deities to digital-age descendants of Aphrodite, from cursed heirlooms to forgotten pantheons, this collection explores what happens when humanity no longer bows. Edited by Dakria and published by WATG Press, this international anthology gathers powerful voices from across the world, blending dark fantasy, myth retellings, speculative horror, and literary flash fiction into one relentless volume. Featuring work by: Christopher Dabrowski, Marius Creed, Simone Venter, J. Rocky Colavito, Daniel Miltz, Robert Hanover, Hana Xen, Toshiya Kamei, Kenneth Walker, Norbert Góra, Andrea Tillmanns, Jacek Wilkos, Adam DelRey, John Bates Jr, John Robertson-Dwyer, and Dakria.
