D. C. Logojan is a dark fantasy and literary fiction writer. She is also a student of philosophy and law, and an avid reader of all genres.
I write about the monster in each of us, about the impossible struggle between right and wrong. I write about the ugliness of grief and the tragedy of love, about the ephemerality of the living and the dead, and the human search for something beyond ourselves. I write about the beauty of the world, the beauty of humanity and the horrifying fear that exists in each of us.

“The world blackened, tilted and the Void itself seemed to open beneath him, awaiting his fall. Silas jolted as he stared into the abyss but he slipped, tumbled and descended into the unending, yawning darkness.”
