Astral Leak

By Anders Vane

An explicit queer extreme-horror confession: KALDHALL is a fortress-mountain that remakes bodies, faith, and desire into something hungry.

About the Book

ASTRAL LEAK is the confession you didn’t know you were complicit in. Inside KALDHALL’s ribs, desire isn’t comfort—it’s ritual, mutation, blasphemy, and transformation. These stories center trans/bigender and transfeminine longing as the engine of the horror, where bodies shift, language misaligns, and power turns inside out. Expect extreme body-horror and desecrated rites in a fortress that treats people as raw material, with no fade-to-black and no moral handrails. This is not cozy yearning—this is gender euphoria sharing a bed with monsters, and a mountain that decides what shape you come out in.

About the Author

Anders Vane

Anders Vane is a Norwegian literary author and a pioneering voice. His work explores the quiet shadows of the human soul, moving through moral gray zones, psychological depth, and ancient echoes that haunt the present.

Vane’s writing carries clear ties to Jon Fosse’s spare intensity, Cormac McCarthy’s stark gravity, Bataille’s confrontations with the forbidden, and Cioran’s razor-edged doubt. There’s also a David Lynch undertow where dream-logic, dread, and the uncanny slips in at the edges, and, beneath it all, a Tolkien sense of myth: not as comfort, but as deep time pressing against the now.

Shaped by Norse heritage, Anders Vane writes where certainty falters and language refuses easy answers. Leaving readers with questions that echo long after the last page.
