Current Flagship

Empire of Blood

Book I · A sci-fi vampire epic

Beneath the mortal world lies a vampire empire ruled by science, class hierarchy, propaganda, spectacle, and fear.

Kane wakes inside that empire with no memory and no past — only pain, a broken body, and a new life as a despised Convert.

Publishing Roadmap

What comes after the first gate opens.

This section positions Hell Forged Books as more than one release without overpromising dates before the work is ready.

PriorityEmpire of Blood Trilogy

The flagship series remains the central project: Book I first, then the next two books in the core trilogy.

FutureGame of Souls

A separate Hell Forged Books property planned for future development once the flagship foundation is stronger.

ExpansionEmpire of Blood Prequels

Future stories set before the core trilogy, designed to expand the history, violence, and machinery behind the Empire.

Author Archive

Legacy work remains part of the record.

Hell Forged Books is built around the future of Christopher Kilgore’s dark fiction, but earlier work such as Jason Teufel can still be preserved as part of the larger author archive.

The public catalog can expand as each title is ready to be presented professionally.
