As a former practitioner of ceremonial magick and necromancy for over two decades,
R. H. Whisenhunt brings an unparalleled authenticity to supernatural horror.
Published Works
Published through Grave & Glory Publishing, his novels are graphic, atmospheric, and rooted in the authentic mechanics of occult practice and supernatural reality. They are built for readers who want horror that goes deeper than cheap thrills and jump-scares, who crave stories with weight, consequence, and beneath it all, a reckoning with the forces at work in the unseen world.
Whisenhunt's prose is not for the faint of heart, it meets brutality head-on, refusing to look away from the terror stalking the darkness. But it does offer something most writers cannot — the perspective of a man who has stood on both sides of this unseen war; the evil in these pages is given its full weight, but so is the power that stands against it.
Chronicles of Carnage Trilogy
What starts as a race to catch a sadistic serial killer, soon becomes a battle to stop a coordinated invasion of the mortal world by entities that have been waiting in the shadows since before human existence. Possession spreads. Communities fracture. And the line between the mundane and supernatural dissolves completely.
Briar Creek Series
Over a century ago, a failed summoning at Skurlock Estate tore the veil separating the physical world and the infernal realms. Through that fracture, evil took root and spread like a cancer. Each novel in the Briar Creek series stands alone, but all are connected by the darkness threading through the soil, history, and people of the cursed town.
Sacred Horror
R. H. Whisenhunt's work is not just about fear; it's about the profound struggle between good and evil. His novels are a testament to personal transformation, inviting readers to confront their deepest fears and contemplate universal truth.
"Relentlessly Fun"
The Donovans arrive at Skurlock Estate looking for a new beginning, but the house has other plans. From chilling drafts to eerie tapping, Skurlock quickly reveals its dark side. Little Ethan’s “imaginary” friend and Audra’s discovery of a forbidden grimoire push everyone to their limits.
Each family member’s perspective builds a suffocating atmosphere, letting tension simmer and catching you off guard with a final twist. Beyond scares, House of Lies dives into generational trauma and the ghosts we carry. This isn’t just a haunted house story; it’s a smart, lingering horror that keeps you questioning what’s real. A must-read.

"Don't get Dead"
I have no words that could possibly explain how much I enjoyed it. When I finished I simply looked at my husband and said "I need book 2, now!". I had little predictions while I read some were right and some weren't. I definitely did not expect the ending, which made it even better. I highly recommend this book to anyone that hasn't read it yet.

"What did I walk into?"
A bunch of Gen Z ghost hunters think it’s a good idea to livestream a séance in a serial killer’s old mortuary. Spoiler alert: it’s not just creaky pipes and raccoons in the basement. They open a door they absolutely should’ve left locked, and now Violet’s playing tug-of-war with an entity so old it predates your grandma’s grandma’s god.
The Bornless isn’t just horror—it’s possession panic, cosmic dread, and a reminder that some doors should stay nailed shut. If you like your supernatural horror relentless, suffocating, and a little sacrilegious, this one’s for you.
