Fiction by Randy Sanford
Stories about transformation, horror, and what happens when the world cracks open. Written between seasons, between projects, between the daily rhythms of family life.
Bad Awakenings: An Anthology
Thirty-three stories about transformations you didn't ask for. Supernatural horror, but not the kind you're expecting. These are awakenings—sudden, irreversible changes that split your life into before and after.
Some people wake up with abilities. Some wake up to truths they can't unsee. All of them have to live in the world that comes after.
Status: Coming 2025
Genre: Supernatural Horror, Transformative Fiction

The UAM Universe
A larger fictional world currently in development. Stories about power structures, urban mythologies, and what happens when ancient systems collide with modern life.
The Sleeper Barons series sits at the center—narratives about those who operate in the spaces between official and underground, between what's permitted and what's possible.
More to come as this world takes shape.
