Void Updates
New section, new projects, new crisis
Welcome back, creatures of the night.
The Narrator is working on many things—because of course I am—including a new novel (Til Death Do Us Part) and a new character-led descent (Olivia). More on those soon…
What’s Inside:
Epoch of Erasure (now monthly)
Project X
Ask Jeffrey
Witchy Wednesday + House of the 8th
Project Recap (because you deserve a map)
“real” picture of the Narrators desk right now ^
Epoch of Erasure
When I first joined Substack, I thought my writing might be “too heavy” or “too dense” for the format. But it turns out, you all love it.
That said, the Void is getting deeper & darker—and these things take a little bit longer.
Epoch of Erasure will now release once a month (on the 1st of each month). This project isn’t ending; it’s evolving. I’m also closing the interactive portions for now while I begin incorporating it into other stories.
Project X: Digital Dystopia
Project X is being remastered and rereleased, with new entries—and the latest writing challenge winner—dropping on the 15th of each month.
Audio companions are on pause while I focus on House of the 8th and a few other endeavors. That said, they’ll make their debut when the timing feels right (and when Jeffrey stops whispering suggestions mid-edit).
Ask Jeffrey
Weekly. Chaotic. Possibly illegal.
Ask Jeffrey now runs alongside Nocturnal News every week—if there are questions to answer.
You can submit anonymously, but understand: if you ask something cursed, you’ll get something worse in return.
Witchy Wednesday with Sam and Nico
I recently had my birth chart dissected on live (shout out to Nico and Sam for being wonderful hosts) and, not to be dramatic, it changed my life.
It did not fix my social anxiety. However—
THE HOUSE OF THE 8TH
The live with Nico and Sam cracked something in the Void (don’t blame Nico, Jeffrey had something to do with it), a new wing of the Void is being unlocked.
House of the 8th—yes, it's an astrology reference. Yes, it's a double entendre. Yes, we will probably accidentally summon something at least once.
This new Substack section focuses on:
Occult rituals & grief alchemy
Tarot readings + edible crafting lives
Short fiction that is too dark or deep for the main.
Exclusive merch (could be blessed, could be cursed, who knows)
Not Astrology™—I’ll leave astrology to Nico.
After Dark has also moved to this section.
All subscribers have been added to the mailing list (you can choose to opt out of emails from this section on it’s own). Free subscribers will receive the monthly House of the 8th newsletter. Paid subscribers will get it all.
If you’re into mysticism, grief alchemy, or watching me spiral through a deck of cards while stoned—this is your home. Close the door behind you, I can’t afford to haunt the outside.
Free tier open now. Limited paid spots available.
This will take time and energy to maintain so, in lieu of upgrading your subscription, the fee is actually some form of ritual sacrifice. You understand.

That’s all for this update. If you’d like to show support for your Narrator (seriously, writing full time is just hell with better PR), upgrade your subscription or check out the gift shop linked below.
Until the next haunting,
—Your Narrator.
There is plenty of room in astrology if you’d ever care to join. 🖤✨
i have a feeling that our "Olivia"s are very different.
