About the author
Thomas K Carpenter writes the Hundred Halls series of urban fantasy novels published by Black Moon Books, including Monstrous, Bloodlust, Deathless King, Blood Witch Curse, Full Moon Demon, and Half Pint Hex. The books are set around a magical university, the City of Sorcery, and follow student mages, con artists, and hospital residents drawn into cases involving demons, curses, and ghosts. Several titles follow recurring characters such as Remi Wilde and Damon Wolfhard across a connected timeline, with new entries appearing as recently as 2026. The series sits in the catalogue's occult-philosophy and witchcraft-wicca categories and is written for readers of fast-paced supernatural fiction rather than nonfiction on magical practice. With 26 books listed here, Carpenter's output is prolific and serial in format, suited to genre fantasy readers who want ongoing storylines rather than standalone novels.
