Welcome to the Forgotten Rites blog, a space where mythology whispers, dark fantasy breathes, and horror echoes through the spaces between worlds.

I’m Donald Quill, author and founder of Forgotten Rites Publishing. This blog is my invitation to you to step deeper into the worlds I’ve created and the stories that haunt my imagination.

What You’ll Find Here:

Stories woven from ancient cosmologies and grounded in meticulous historical research. Explorations of Celtic mythology, dark fantasy worldbuilding, and the intersection of history and horror. Behind-the-scenes glimpses into my creative process. Discussions about memory, belief, and the thin places where the sacred and the sinister intertwine.

My Current Works:

From the Threads of Silence explores the unseen connections that bind us all. Echoes of the Otherworld and Broken Rites launch readers into a mythic reimagining of ancient Ireland where gods fade and prophecies burn. The House on Ashburn Street delves into psychological horror and haunted bloodlines.

Whether you’re drawn to lyrical prose, Celtic deities, supernatural terror, or stories that ask unsettling questions, there’s something here for you.

Thank you for being here. The whispers begin now.
