Christopher Kilgore is the creator of Hell Forged Books, an independent imprint for dark fiction with sharp edges, immersive worlds, and no interest in softening the blade.
His fiction blends horror, science fiction, military action, and dark fantasy into violent, cinematic worlds built around flawed characters, moral conflict, and the high cost of survival. Rather than writing clean heroes and simple villains, he is drawn to stories where history is written by the powerful, loyalty is dangerous, and even monsters have reasons for what they become.
Christopher’s current flagship series, Empire of Blood, is a dark gothic science-fiction vampire epic set in a brutal underground empire where power, survival, and monstrosity are never simple things.
He is currently expanding the Empire of Blood universe, along with future works in horror, science fiction, and dark fantasy.
