Welcome to Dunmore Dispatch!
Pack your pike, load your matchlock, and stow your pouch of salt against all species of spirit and monster.
Whether you’re here to catch a cursed play, fall in love, flee the law, or slay a serpent, you’ll find it here at Dunmore Dispatch!
Pulpy fantasy action with betrayals, twists, and turns:
High drama concerning the aftermath of bloody battle and a child to be delivered:
A comedy about a most dreadful assassin — and that’s not a compliment:
Better to face starvation and death than be taken by what stalks within the gloom:
Currently Serializing
Leviathan’s Huntress — a tale of lost love, fearsome monsters, and transformation on the high seas!
New chapters weekly!
Even for him, Ian achieves something special here: a mythic feel which rises from detailing the mundane… Leviathan's Huntress beautifully dramatizes the hard realities of sailing and whaling during the oft romanticized, very dangerous Age of Sail.
Find Your Flavor of Story
Dunmore Dispatch tales all live in the same interconnected world.
Swordclashes and gunsmoke. Battles and last stands. Cowardice, valor, and glory.
Curses, pacts, fear, and the uncanny — the currency of that which lurks in the darker spaces.
The comical side of high fantasy.
Stories where tragedy meets hope, and joy and sorrow may mingle in the same cup.
Tales measured in the beats of hearts and the draw of small breaths.
Nonfiction dabbling in the art of building secondary worlds.
[Dunmore’s] doing the thing most literary fiction has forgotten how to do… He never forgets he has to make you need the next line, not just admire it, and then he writes lines worth admiring anyway.
—Thane Morrow, “Ian Dunmore keeps writing the same story, and I keep letting him”
