Eddie Patin writes weird fiction on the edge of sci-fi, horror, and dark fantasy.
His stories explore dangerous worlds, broken systems, and the people forced to survive inside them – whether that means hunting through alien landscapes, navigating collapsing realities, or facing things that don’t make sense no matter how hard you try to understand them.
Known for blending fast-paced action with high-concept ideas, Eddie’s work often centers on characters learning how reality works … and what it costs to bend it. His books combine grounded survival, brutal environments, and bizarre worlds touched by something vast and cosmic – where the universe is bigger, stranger, and less forgiving than it first appears.
His writing stays grounded in physical detail – clear action, believable use of weapons, and dialogue that reflects how people actually think and talk under pressure. The result is fiction that feels both strange and tangible: ideas pushed to their limits, anchored by characters you can feel who have to deal with consequences in real terms.
Originally from south Louisiana, Eddie has spent most of his life in Colorado, with a brief detour into professional poker in Las Vegas. He is also a musician, artist, firearms and pointy-things enthusiast, and longtime marketing and design professional.
When he’s not writing, he’s usually working on creative projects, exploring new ideas, or thinking about how far a story can be pushed before it breaks.
His favorite fiction authors are Stephen King, Michael Crichton, Ayn Rand, and Robert E Howard. He is also an author of a variety of non-fiction topics and writes children’s books (under a pen name) designed to promote strong, stoic values and friendship and get reluctant readers reading. Eddie holds certifications as a SCUBA Divemaster, a NESTA Personal Trainer, and an NRA Firearms Instructor.

—Current Series—
Monster Hunting for Fun and Profit (Books 1-6 + Box Sets + Extras)
Travel to parallel and bizarre universes to hunt monsters for profit and adventure … with dinosaurs. Less dread than Apocalypse Gate, and boatloads more adventure. A little less horror, but a whole lot of focus on feeling cosmically insignificant and the consequences of true infinity. Think “Rick and Morty” with guns, gold, and mythological beasts.
Six books and two omnibuses, plus short stories and extras.
Apocalypse Gate (Books 1-3 + Box Set + Extras)
Modern, dark and violent, full of chaos and dread, bad language, wild and crazy monsters, and alien/demonic worlds, this series follows six sets of deep characters trying to survive the end of the world. You haven’t read anything like this. It starts with an EMP, societal collapse, and prepper/SHTF survival, then it gets weird and horrific.
Three books, one omnibus, plus short stories and extras.
Starship Bonfire (Currently Writing)
The Starship Bonfire is a salvaged Corvette-class light warship transformed into a hardened home for a crew of misfits struggling to survive on the frontiers of space; a warm fire for friends to sit around while surrounded by the dark, brutal, and uncaring void. If you’re a fan of Firefly, Warframe, or BattleTech, you’ll love this.
Planning on three books (maybe six), one omnibus, plus short stories and extras.
