Before the Watchmen became a novel, 14, they began as a poem written during one of the darkest periods of my life. Born from fear, exhaustion, and uncertainty, those silent figures slowly grew into something larger—a story about grief, survival, and the unseen forces watching, waiting.
Lost in the echoes of yesteryear, a soul drifts through the garden of the cosmos, surrendering to the pull of gravity, memory, and wistful acquiescence.
When the machinery falls silent and nature returns, “All The Moving Things” reflects on memory, decay, and the quiet question of whether anything was ever worth it.
I left The Backrooms quiet, not disappointed, but haunted. This slow-burn horror asks viewers to sit with the unknown, follow the hum, and wonder what the Backrooms might build from memory, fear, and the parts of ourselves we try hardest to forget.
Something is watching from the edges of the world in 14, Rowan Alexander’s upcoming horror novel about unseen entities, a countdown no one believes, and one woman standing at the center of the end.
“If you’re not careful and you noclip out of reality in the wrong areas, you’ll end up in the Backrooms, where it’s nothing but the stench of old moist carpet, the madness of mono-yellow, the endless background noise of fluorescent lights at maximum hum-buzz, and approximately six hundred million square miles of randomly segmented empty rooms to be trapped in. God save you if you hear something wandering around nearby. Because it sure as hell has heard you.”
And just like that, a thousand people felt something cold move through them.
There is a particular kind of terror that has nothing to do with monsters.
It settles — slowly, quietly — like fog rolling in over water. It’s the feeling that something is wrong, even when everything looks beautiful. And something just beyond the veil, is an entire world that watches, and waits.
That’s the world I built in Welcome Station.
