About
CJ Mann III writes literary dark fantasy and speculative fiction about myth, grief, power, faith, memory, and the stories people mistake for truth.
His work is drawn toward doomed crowns, divine debt, political ruin, queer devotion, and beautiful things breaking under the weight of history. He writes for readers who like their fantasy sorrow-forward, mythic, intimate, and haunted by consequence.
