The Endless Hunt
A trilogy exploring identity and survival in a collapsing world.
Three distinct protagonists face unique horrors in a broken world. One survives in a flooded urban landscape against external dangers. Another escapes entities that mimic his form and voice in the wild. The third struggles to control a kingdom of the dead, only to lose authority and uncover a dark secret involving a child. Duncan uses these parallel narratives to examine how identity frays under pressure. His writing style prioritizes mood and precise detail over plot continuity. The collection serves as a meditation on the cost of retaining one's humanity when civilization crumbles.
This trilogy sits within the American horror tradition, blending gothic elements with supernatural fiction. It reflects contemporary anxieties about societal collapse and the fragility of human identity. The work draws on established genres to create a modern meditation on what defines us when civilization ends.
