Darkness Calls:
Claimed: (1/1/26)
Darkness Calls Claimed is not a work of fiction written for comfort. It is a testimony.From his earliest years, Ben Evans lived on the wrong side of the veil, where shadows watch, voices whisper without mouths, and unseen forces mark those they intend to claim. Raised in a quiet coastal town that hid more than it revealed, his childhood was shaped by encounters no child should survive. Entities with burning eyes, presences that crossed into bedrooms, and moments where reality bent under the weight of something ancient and hungry.These experiences were not isolated nightmares. They followed him through homes, through summers spent in places steeped in rot and silence, through family stories that softened terror into jokes while the truth remained buried. Alongside the darkness, something else stirred. A guardian presence, fierce and unrelenting, intervening when the line between life and oblivion grew thin.As the years passed, the war did not fade. It evolved.Adulthood brought a different kind of torment. Chronic pain, abandonment by medicine, and the quiet erosion of identity. As his body broke down, the darkness returned with familiar patience, circling once more as despair opened old doors. What followed was not salvation, but confrontation. A reckoning across time, memory, and bloodline, where survival depended on facing both the monsters beyond the veil and the wounds carried within.Claimed traces the origin of the Darkness Calls universe, blending lived experience, memory, and supernatural reality into a single narrative. This is a story about being marked, hunted, and protected. About the cost of seeing too much, too early. About enduring when escape is not an option.The darkness calls, but it does not always win.

Shout at the Devil and Curse at the Lord is a raw, unfiltered account of what happens when a strong body, a stubborn mind, and an unbreakable will collide with chronic pain that refuses to be explained or ignored.At the peak of his physical life, Ben Evans was disciplined, driven, and relentless. Fitness was not a hobby. It was identity, therapy, and armor. Then, without warning, everything unraveled. A single moment triggered years of debilitating pelvic and nerve pain that would dominate his body, fracture his confidence, and strip away every illusion of control he believed he had earned.What followed was a brutal descent into the medical system. Endless appointments. Misdiagnoses. Procedures that humiliated more than they healed. Specialists who shrugged, passed the problem along, or simply failed to listen. As the pain persisted, it bled into every corner of life. Marriage was tested. Fatherhood was reshaped. Mental health spiraled. Faith was questioned, challenged, and, at times, outright cursed.This book is not a polite recovery story. It is equal parts dark humor, rage, self reflection, and survival. Ben walks readers through the physical reality of chronic pain, the psychological toll of being dismissed, and the internal war between hope and exhaustion. Along the way, he confronts addiction, masculinity, pride, spirituality, and the uncomfortable truth that sometimes healing does not come from doctors, diagnoses, or divine intervention.Shout at the Devil and Curse at the Lord is for anyone who has felt trapped in their own body, unheard by the people meant to help, or forced to rebuild their identity from the ground up. It is a story about enduring when answers do not exist, learning to live when pain does not leave, and finding meaning not in being fixed, but in refusing to quit.This is not a guidebook.
This is not inspiration wrapped in a bow.
This is one man standing in the fire and telling the truth about it.
