Author of cosmic horror and narrative poetry
Sebastian Michaels is an American author of cosmic horror and narrative poetry, publishing fiction since 2025. His work blends narrative poetry, folklore, and atmospheric worldbuilding. His projects often unfold as recovered transmissions, artifacts, and field documents, inviting readers into interconnected mythologies rooted in rural landscapes, cosmic dread, and analog media.
Michaels is best known for The Crown of Glass, a narrative poetry collection released in 2025 that unfolds over seven nights and centers on a haunted constellation bound to human loss. Michaels’ work as an author of narrative poetry reached a wider audience with the 2025 release of The Crown of Glass, establishing the tonal foundation for a growing body of interconnected works.
In addition to writing, Michaels is a photographer whose images document liminal roads, rural structures, and landscapes that feel displaced in time. His visual work frequently appears alongside his writing as part of a broader effort to construct believable mythologies through texture rather than exposition.
Ongoing projects include The Astral Annex, a free web-based companion work, and a series of transmission-styled publications that blur the line between fiction, broadcast, and archival record.
