November is Indigenous Heritage Month here on Interact-IF!

This month, we recognize and celebrate native/indigenous authors, their heritage, and the love they’ve poured into their projects for this community.

Here are our featured authors for this month! Join us in supporting them by checking out their works!

J, author of The Graves of Heirs

Carmine Ehrenreich is the villainess of your favourite series, The Graves of Heirs; the Queen of Apostates, she makes a pact with the elder god Deathe and tears the titular heirs’ lives apart. When the series ends with her death, you assume that’s that in the story of the possessed sorcerer and close the book.

Only problem is after you’re murdered by… something, you wake up to a proposition offered by Carmine herself; she hates the way the series ended and needs your help to change the story. Before you know it you are trapped in the position of the young Carmine in the horrific Ehrenreich Organization to learn the magic that turned her into a villain. Alongside the first of the heirs you must now make your way through a school year beset with magical mishaps, murderous teachers, and monsters that may or may not be hunting you down in the middle of the night.

Will you save the other students, or leave them to their fate? Will you help the heir, organize his death, or take the place of protagonist yourself? Hindsight is twenty-twenty, after all. You know how events are going to happen - what will you do to change the story?

Read more here | The Graves of Heirs demo | Ko-fi

Tags: fantasy, academia

Roast, author of When it Hungers

When it Hungers is a cosmic horror story based on a world dissimilar to ours full of monsters and magic.

You play as a monstrous parolee in 1913, forced to work for a company that investigates magical and monstrous phenomena. You’re set on a conundrum of a case with no easy answers, plaguing a town like the mysterious illness that plagues your body and has stolen bits of your memories–that are slowly starting to come back.

Solve the case, survive, get answers.

Tags: cosmic horror, historical

Scott, author of The Watchwood

This is a story about trauma, recovery, and what family always should have been. It’s about the ghosts that linger in your head and learning to live with them. It’s about the people who love you, and how sometimes they have ghosts, too. It’s about moving forward, even when it’s hard, and even when it feels like you’re moving backward.

You are a member of the Grey family. Once, you were a child, and as children are wont to do, you broke the rules. You went somewhere you’d been told not to go, and something very bad happened. Something that has lived in your head ever since.

Your parents took you, and the three of you moved far away from your ancestral home. 22 years later, your grandmother, the Head of the Grey Family, has passed away, and you have all returned home for the first time.

This is what happens next.

Theo, author of Boundary Pass

Boundary Pass is an interactive suspense novel that follows the experiences of a park ranger in the winter of 2003. Set in an isolated mountain pass known for its body-count, struggle to keep the mountains from claiming another life.

Mason, author of Veil: Prophecy & Dead Men’s Tales: Sunrise

In a world similar to ours where magic is known to exist, but not particularly common, humans live together in large cities away from the dangers of the earth-bound spirits in the wilds beyond. Conjurers like you are able to commune with the spirits that live in the Otherworld, a world filled with dangerous spirits that is separated from your own world by the Veil. Spirits slip through the Veil occasionally, or they can be brought over via demonic contracts with conjurers. Both of these scenarios terrify ordinary humans who find solace in a prophecy that promises a chosen one who will strengthen the Veil, permanently sealing all spirits and magic away in the Otherworld forever.

Tags: urban fantasy

Nyehilism, author of Sentinel & Project Hadea

You’re frozen, unable to move as you meet bloodshot eyes. You can’t breathe, can’t think. There’s an awful familiarity, and for just a moment, you feel like you’re looking in a mirror, your warped reflection snarling back at you. Then there’s a crack, loud enough to break the spell, and the monster s c r e a m s.

A brutal murder rocks the balance of your life. An old friend is lying to you, and a stranger knows more than he’s telling. You dream of people and places you’ve never seen, of flowers and buildings and vast strange skies - and during the day, you’re hunted by a creature like nothing you’ve seen before. We all have demons, but you hadn’t expected yours to follow you through death.

Your past has caught up with you, and it has teeth.

Pol, author of All Paths Lead to the Underground

Welcome to Deadline, the city of the lost ones. Here, in the near dystopian future, there’re only two ways to survive: engage in something illegal or pretend that you don’t notice anything that’s happening around you. Too bad that the latter one isn’t that easy in a place like this, where you need to be on guard every other minute in order to get through the day and not catch a bullet. Trying to live like normal people do wasn’t ever an option for you anyway, whether you like it or not.

And now you’re a mercenary who works side-by-side with a group of poor souls who are also unfortunate enough to be stuck in the same position. But there’s a problem, of course, because you’re not entirely human yourself, and it’s the fact that constantly puts your companions in danger whenever they’re with you. Not only this, you also have some other unplesant things to take care of, but let’s deal with it a little bit later. The consequences of the things you’ve done, or were forced to, are hot on your heels and are threatening to crush you at any moment. You’re pretty certain that your strength, that goes far beyond the limits of human abilities, can help you withstand everything that’s coming for you. But it’s not always about strength and power, is it? The beast inside of you is trying to take over, and day by day it becomes more persistent.

Can you stand against it and retain your sanity, or will you succumb to the madness like many others? Lose yourself in the icy embrace of the darkness, or fight it until your last breath?

Well, the choice is yours only.

Be careful and remember, all paths lead to the Underground.

September is Latino Heritage Month here on Interact-if!

This month is all about latino authors, celebrating their heritage and highlighting the hard work they’ve put into creating for this community.

Here are our month’s featured authors, please check out their works and join us in supporting them.

Bianca, author of An Elemental Existence & Exiled from Court

After spending the last 18 years of your life locked away in a mansion by your abusive mother, you’ve finally become a normal teenager.

The only problem? There’s nothing “normal” about you. You have the rare power to control all four elements.

Will you be able to learn how to live in the outside world, or will the memories of your mother continue to haunt you in this slice of life, urban fantasy tale?

Billi, author of Spilt Milk

You are the heir(ess) of a hotel empire enjoying your independence before you eventually assume the role of CEO. With no shortage of money, drink, and warm bodies, you would say you have a pretty good life.

Your father, however, would beg to differ, and threatens to cut you off until you demonstrate “some semblance of common sense”—whatever that means. Like he does every week.

You didn’t think he would actually do it this time, though.

Some Scottish guy once wrote “[it’s] no use, however, crying over spilt milk.” but, damn it, you’d like to see someone try and stop you.
