Chronicles of Calamity
Book • 2023
Devin Hunter, writing as Darren Sparks, describes the 'Chronicles of Calamity' as a novella series blending cosmic YA science fiction with thriller and horror tones, intended both as public fiction and as a writing exercise.
He released three novellas (with plans for five) on Kindle Unlimited as a way to sharpen his long-form fiction skills before tackling a novel.
The series engages occult and speculative themes, allowing Devin the creative freedom absent in his nonfiction work, and has received encouraging feedback.
These novellas represent his transition into identifying as an author of both nonfiction and fiction, exploring narratives he couldn't address in his practical occult books.
The series also functions as a testing ground for character and worldbuilding techniques he plans to expand in a future novel.
