On Burning Ground is a post-apocalyptic dark fantasy short story written by Martin Shannon, one of the writers for Dark Arc Books and Mortis Maledictum. John and little Mallory must navigate a post-apocalyptic world. The fires force the living into great acts of desperation, so how far will John go to protect his daughter? Mortis Maledictum creates cosmic dark fantasy original audio dramas and dramatized audiobooks in English through Dark Arc Books. We want to create what we are passionate about: dark fantasy, cosmic horror, and grimdark stories that cut through the fluff to give you suspense, mystery, monsters, magic, and dread. Ghostly adventures, witchcraft, old gods, haunted woods, ancient evils, and madness permeate these chilling tales. It's like creepypasta, but all original stories and full-cast voice acting to create a full-cast audio drama. We are in love with both traditional dark fantasy and audio as a medium, knowing that time is precious, and want to produce our content in audio so you can enjoy our stories any time.
