J. R. Carrel

J. R. Carrel is the author behind the More Than Human Universe, a dark fantasy series blending gothic horror, historical fiction, and mythological lore. His work explores a hidden world where vampires, fae, and ancient powers shape human history from the shadows.

Drawing inspiration from real historical settings and legends, Carrel builds immersive stories filled with morally complex characters, sharp wit, and high-stakes conflict. From cunning narrators like Simon to unpredictable figures like Rattenfänger, his characters don’t just exist in the world, they bend it to their will.

Carrel’s storytelling leans into a classic tradition of fantasy while pushing into darker, more modern territory, where heroes are flawed, villains are layered, and nothing is ever as simple as it seems.

He lives in Ohio with his family, where he continues expanding the More Than Human Universe.
