The desert knows your secrets. And it always collects its debts

Justin, a disgraced screenwriter and recovering addict, retreats to a remote cabin in Joshua Tree, hoping to outrun his failures and reignite his career. But the land is old. The wind carries whispers. The shadows move when they shouldn’t. And something ancient, something hungry, is watching.

When Justin stumbles upon a ritual that has claimed men for over a century, he learns the truth: this desert doesn’t just bury the lost: it consumes them. And now, it has chosen him.

First published in 2025 to critical acclaim, Immundus is a modern Western steeped in Navajo folklore, psychological unrest, and moral decay. Set against the barren edges of the American Southwest, it’s a slow, unnerving descent into paranoia, isolation, and the quiet cost of redemption; a visceral meditation on guilt and survival that, much like the rest of the author's work, defies easy categorization.
