Adrian Fares

Writer of fiction. Horror, speculative, a smattering of sci-fi. The real world is brutal, and I try to make sense of it through fiction. I have one serialized novel up on Substack, with another coming in 2026.

We make movies and series. Animation and live-action. Documentary and fiction. Sign up now to see our documentary series "First Word on Horror."

Fiction and culture, explored through art, micro fiction, flash fiction, short stories, and serials by a multimedia artist.

FicStack's Substack

My personal Substack

A space for essays, literary criticism, and gothic tales, engaging with classic literature and writing craft through darkness, sensitivity, and close reading

I write and motivate, therefore I am. Here I share my writing journey, with the hope that i can motivate and empower fellow writers and artists to be themselves, whole and true. I focus on emotional wellbeing as part of the creative journey.

Welcome to the Bitter Old Man Reviews! When I'm not writing fiction, I'm watching movies and getting annoyed about them. Join me for my ranting and slight lunacy. Glad you're here!
