Edward Bowers

Dark fiction. Raw emotion. Stories that don't let go.

A life can break a thousand ways. Mine breaks onto the page.
I write the kind of books that drag you into the dark and dare you to walk back out changed.
If you’re looking for something safe and polished, you won’t find it here.
You’ll find what’s real.

Are you new here? Start with The 86 Saga.

If you’re new to my books, the 86 Trilogy is the best place to begin.
It captures the tone, grit, and emotional core of the stories I write — raw, human, and unfiltered.

The 86 Saga

It begins with a man who believes he’s losing his mind.

A number appears too often to ignore. Thoughts repeat. Guilt hardens into certainty. What feels like depression begins to resemble inheritance—passed quietly from father to son, explained away as illness, and waiting to be obeyed.

As the saga unfolds, the line between psychology and possession erodes. What starts as recognition becomes obedience. What feels like choice becomes compliance. And what is taken from one man does not disappear—it reshapes the lives around him.

The 86 Saga is not about fighting back. It is about what happens when authority is internalized, when silence replaces explanation, and when survival is mistaken for victory.

By the time the story reaches its later chapters, the most unsettling truth emerges: the horror no longer needs belief. The cycle becomes self-sustaining—embedded in behavior, normalized through absence, and passed down without memory of where it began.

The final chapter of the saga does not announce itself loudly. It does not return to the beginning or offer answers. Instead, it asks a quieter question—one far more dangerous:

What happens when the next generation grows up inside the consequences and never realizes there was ever another way?

This is not a story about monsters.
It is a story about permanence.
