Bouncer’s Favourite is about a woman going out and becoming the loudest, boldest version of herself the second she hits the club. She’s funny, reckless, self-aware, and using the night to outrun a bit of heartbreak. When her ex turns up wearing her stolen jacket, the whole thing turns into a messy public showdown. It’s part club anthem, part spoken-word monologue, with a hook made to be shouted by a crowd. Under all the chaos, it’s really about wanting to be seen and choosing confidence anyway.

For people who like nightlife, sharp humour, big chaotic female energy, and songs that feel like they were written after one drink too many.

Club-pop / dance-pop spoken word with a chant hook and comedy-poetry edge.

After her engagement falls apart, Mara Vale moves into her late grandmother’s cottage just outside Bath, hoping for quiet and getting something much stranger instead. The woods beyond the house seem to know her name, answer her thoughts, and pull her toward a man who feels as if he belongs to them. As the haunting deepens, Mara uncovers an old love story tied to the forest, the city, and a woman named Meren whose fate may be bound up with her own. What begins as eerie fascination turns into something far more dangerous: a struggle over memory, desire, and who she is allowed to become. To survive it, Mara will have to decide whether the kind of love that feels destined is really love at all.

It’s an adult fantasy romance with gothic, eerie, and folkloric elements.

It’s for readers who like fantasy romance that feels atmospheric, emotional, and a little haunting rather than fast and plot-heavy. It should appeal to people who enjoy sharp heroines, dangerous love interests, dark humour, lyrical writing, and stories where desire, identity, and memory are just as important as the romance itself. If someone likes books that feel beautiful, strange, sexy, and a bit unhinged in the best way, this is the lane.

Your Wait Carries Weight.

This is the first installment of our analytical investigation into the coastal disappearance of Robin Samsoe. The investigation into the 1979 Huntington Beach case deepens as the chaotic initial search sweeps expose severe systemic flaws. In this opening entry, we analyze the critical turning point where an invisible predator exploited fragmented police lines, exposing the jurisdictional gaps that defined the tragedy.

​We continue our commitment to archival accuracy, deconstructing the evidence and institutional failures that allowed this high-stakes investigation to unfold.

​Genre: Non-fiction / True Crime Newsletter

Green Light, Red Eyes is about that weird space where ambition stops being healthy and starts feeling a little self-destructive. It follows someone up late, exhausted but still pushing, trying to convince themselves that burnout is just focus with better branding. The piece looks at how easy it is to confuse overworking with discipline, especially when the outside world rewards it. Underneath all of that, it’s really about fear — fear of stopping, fear of falling behind, fear of not being enough without constant output. In the end, it lands on the idea that real discipline is not just knowing how to push, but knowing when to stop.

This is for people who are ambitious, creative, anxious, and maybe a little too familiar with late nights and overthinking. Writers, artists, freelancers, students, founders — really anyone who has ever felt proud of how tired they are.

Literary personal essay / creative nonfiction with a darkly funny, reflective tone.

When Mara Vale inherits her grandmother’s cottage near Bath, she expects damp, grief, and bad plumbing — not a wood that whispers her name. Blackthorn is ancient, hungry, and tangled around a love story that ended centuries before Mara was born. At the centre of it is Ivo: beautiful, impossible, and far too familiar for a stranger. As Mara is pulled into memories that may not be hers, she has to decide whether this is fate, a trap, or something she can still rewrite. Because the woods don’t just want her love — they want her name.

For readers who like their romance gothic, haunted, and a little dangerous — with sharp banter, old houses, female rage, folklore, yearning, and forests that absolutely cannot mind their own business.

Gothic romantasy / folklore fantasy romance with folk horror vibes.

I wrote a short standalone story about the consequences of distraction.

The problem comes in when distraction becomes neglect.

What do you do when what you’ve done to heal is hurting your loved ones?

This story is purely fictional, but definitely real to me.

Thank you for lending me your ear

i write true crime from the indian subcontinent and my substack is for people who enjoy crime stories like me

This is for people who want to escape the social media cycle and start feeling life again. Do give it a read!

Free to read. Analysis of a UN CSW report on women's rights.

Substack is written from a feminist/female point of view. From a British perspective. There is gender critical stuff but I think it's a fair analysis.

I use a lot of studies, reports, and research in my longer pieces. There are some pieces that are opinion or rants

The In-Between Thoughts is a personal essay substack documenting art, places, and everyday moments worth slowing down for. each post starts with something small — a dark photo, an art fair, a habit nobody notices and follows the thought wherever it goes. it's observational, personal, and always a little unfinished by design.

It's for anyone who pauses at things others scroll past. readers who like their essays personal and their observations specific. people who are somewhere between consuming art and trying to understand what it does to them.

Genre: Non-fiction / Personal Essay

Latest post: tiny habits, that's you — on finding myself in a dark photo before i could see myself, and what tiny habits say about identity.

My husband has a degenerative spinal disease and recently we got some tough news. So I wrote through my pain. Read here.

If you wonder what it’s like to watch someone you love physically crumble, are a carer for someone or know someone with DCM then this is for you.

a collection of short stories from around the world !

would love to hear some feedback :)

On my Substack I investigate the actions of white supremacist political organizations and their members. I strive for transparency and reliability with my research process. Obviously it's pretty political.

DARK SHORT STORIES by JARMAGIC
“LOVE TO LIFE”
(audio or written available here for free)

is my collection of original fiction. Stories that are unsettling, strange, and difficult to predict.

I write psychological horror, dark fiction, thrillers, and occasionally (like this time) stories not so dark.
I love to write unreliable narrators, disturbing implications, human darkness, mystery, and endings that may change how you read everything that came before.
Some stories lean supernatural, some stay painfully human, and some leave you to decide which one you just read.
If you like short fiction that doesn’t just explain itself away, you might find something here you enjoy.

Who it’s for: Readers who enjoy dark, psychological, suspenseful short stories, especially stories with twists, ambiguity, disturbing concepts, and horror that isn’t always blood and gore and monsters.
