Welcome to the Dank

My name is Stanley J Winter, horror writer and performer. I dwell in the gloom of the West Yorkshire Pennines and am utterly obsessed with dark art, from gothic horror to black metal.

My debut novel, Krill’s Tale, is out in 2025 with Nightmare Press (USA), but I also publish my own stories set in the vile realm of The Dank Forest. Such tales are narrated by my nemesis, The Warlock of the Northern Dank, a fearsome conjurer who feasts on the blood of peasants. Should you encounter him, take heed, for he is not to be trusted…

Why is Everything Dank?

Dank is an aesthetic that best describes everything I do. Think moss, mould, damp, rot, corpses, crypts, castles, bones, dungeons, algae, fungi, sleaze, soil, filth, sweat, armpits, wells, swamps, etcetera.

Enjoy your visit to my hateful world and be sure to check out my store for all manner of rotten treasures.

DO YOU DARE TO ENTER THE DANK?
