About Matt Larkin
Matt writes retellings of mythology as dark, gritty fantasy. His passions of myths, philosophy, and history inform his work.
He strives to combine gut-wrenching action with thought-provoking ideas and culturally resonant stories.
About the Eschaton Cycle
The Eschaton Cycle retells myths and folklore through the lens of dark fantasy. Every series intermeshes with the others in a tapestry, meaning in whatever order you read them, each adds to the picture of the whole, creating a single narrative.
I’ve learned his [Matt’s] writing just works for me in a way very few others do. His stories are complex, his prose is gorgeous, his research is flawless, and he always puts a unique spin on a story I don’t expect.
