Welcome to my Substack! Here, you'll find a mix of short stories, novellas, and full-length novels in the horror genre with all the sub-genres you can think of. Cosmic, extreme, gothic, thriller, sci-fi, noir, psychological, fantasy, crime, and grunge written by award winning author, PD Alleva.

Paid subscriptions will begin within a year of our launch date, October 4, 2024. Paid subscriptions will include novel length stories by PD Alleva, The Chamber Door quarterly magazine, collaborations with PD and other indie authors, and guest author serials. Until we go paid, enjoy PD’s full length novels for free.

So, what is alternative fiction? Alternative Fiction can best be described as sophisticated pulp fiction. It’s gritty, grunge, gore, and noir all wrapped into a fine little package of psychologically satisfying, mind-blowing entertainment that does not follow norms or trends. Alternative Fiction is good old-fashioned rebellious storytelling that cuts into the heart of humanity and tosses it on its head.
