Part three of the theater saga
Strangling strands of squeezing smoke
Despite Alice Castella’s best efforts to tease apart the Magnolia theater murders. She remains stumped by the mechanical knife that lies in the centre of it all.
To find out where it came from we must switch perspectives.
We go back to the start. Switch to a man who gets paid a large sum of money to deliver an unmarked box to a house in the old city centre every Friday night.
Then heads inside for a glass of booze and a story.
Trigger warnings for those who need them
Strangling strands of squeezing smoke features drug addiction from the point of view character. As well as disordered eating and physical neglect. On top of that there are themes of breaking from reality (delusions) and social manipulations both inflicted and received.
If any of these subjects are triggering to you I suggest skipping this story altogether.
I’ll be including chapter specific trigger warning for you to decide whether a chapter is okay for you to read.
I’ll also be backtracking through previous stories to add trigger warnings retroactively. But this will take some time.
Please stay save

New here?
The Royal Griffin series is split up into sagas.
Each saga has a self contained theme and I try to make sure that the start of each saga explains relevant information from the previous sagas.
But in the end it’s one big story.
Depending on how much time you want to invest. You can either start at the beginning of the series, or the saga.

Unebre
The worldbuilding exersize that gained a life of its own.
Featuring living dolls, talking trees and mad science all wrapped up inside a late 19th to early 20th century aesthetic.
The Royal Griffin
The project that I’ve been working on for 10+ years now.
What started off as a fun steampunk series has been rewritten, burned, rebuild and grown vastly out of proportions.
Other projects
A catch-all for the other projects that either don’t posess the sheer volume to warrant its own category or are meant to run for a shorter period of time.
Still contains some great stuff.
