Skybreaker

"Equal parts heart-wrenching and terrifying, Skybreaker is an atmospheric Maya horror tale full of well-loved characters, blooming love, and ancient traditions. The dread is palpable; I could not put it down." - Jasmine De La Paz, author of Just Like Grandmother

"Propulsive & layered, Welch grabs you early and doesn't let go. This was a great world, one that readers will want to visit again!" - Steve Stred, author of Mastodon & Churn the Soil

"Tyler J. Welch's Skybreaker is unlike anything I've read, a mystical, ominous tale deftly weaving ancient literature vibes with contemporary horror. I raced through this book and was surprised by how invested I became in the characters and their world in so short a time. This is definitely a horror story, and Welch is unafraid to remind you of that once the tremors of impending peril become much more." - S.Q. McGrath, author of Darkheart & The Women in the Woods

"Even at this early stage in his career, Welch belongs in the big leagues. Skybreaker somehow manages to be much bigger than its modest page count - a story of epic proportions and worthy of a space on your bookshelves." - Happy Goat Horror

"Skybreaker is an intense, dread-infused trek into the distant past. This book has all the things I adore in dark fiction: arcane rituals, unfathomable horror, existential terror, and a whole lot of blood!" - C.M. Forest, author of Infested

"Skybreaker is a banger. Its lush descriptions, mythical setting, and tight prose will whisk you off to a world of dynamism and wonder. But there's also this creeping doom lurching alongside you, and once it emerges from the shadows, you'll be left crawling for safety. Welch stays true to his roots of mythology and mystery, but Skybreaker elevates his work to a new level." - Drew Starling, author of SENTINEL, NOTHUS, and AFTER
