I Am His Rotting Shrine

A single drop of blood awakens an ancient, slumbering entity, forcing an ordinary man into a parasitic pact for survival. To wield its world-bending power is to invite corruption; every use warps his body and erodes his sanity. In a reality where folk horrors bleed through from a decaying otherworld, he must unravel a century-old conspiracy to halt a creeping apocalypse. But his mind is the true battlefield. He must master the god shackled to his soul to fight the monsters without, all while desperately clinging to the last vestiges of his humanity. Can he harness this terrible gift before it consumes him completely, dragging the world down into madness?
