About Hell Forged Books

An author-owned publishing imprint.

Hell Forged Books is the publishing identity for Christopher Kilgore’s dark fiction, beginning with Empire of Blood.

Christopher Kilgore

Author and founder.

Christopher Kilgore writes dark fiction built around brutal systems, gothic horror, moral compromise, and worlds where violence is organized, monetized, and protected.

Empire of Blood is the first flagship property under Hell Forged Books. The long-term goal is a controlled author-owned archive: novels, world material, images, premium editions, reader experiences, and future intellectual property under one roof.
