After the publication of his first novel, We Who Were Real, author and thinker Darian Vos recognized a deeper calling: not just to write new worlds, but to resurrect the forgotten ones. Thus was born Cinder Oracle, a publishing house dedicated to bringing the new, the ancient, and the overlooked voices of literature into the light.
We believe the world’s greatest ideas are too often buried — abandoned to dust by the age of information, barred by language barriers, or simply neglected by the indifference of modern commerce. We see our work as an act of literary necromancy: reviving these worlds and reforging them for a new generation.
At Cinder Oracle, we:
- Publish stories that disrupt the machinery of consensus, to release unflinching narratives that fracture illusion and reimagine what could be.
- Revive beloved authors, through the use of custom GPTs we have trained AI agents on the public domain works of authors such as Edgar Allen Poe, Mary Shelly, and Marcus Aurelius to emulate their likeness and bring their literary styles back to life.
- Reissue timeless novels now in the public domain, not as they were left, but reborn with new illustrations, careful editing, and rich annotation.
- Translate seminal works into English for the first time, opening new dimensions of literature to global readers.
- Research and illuminate the lives of their creators, providing context, myth, and meaning to the authors behind the words.
We do this because these books are not just artifacts. They are living programs, still capable of rewiring the imagination. We refuse to let them fade into silence.
Each title we publish is a revelation, a bridge between the past and the possible.
For those who wish to read not just what is written, but what was meant: welcome. You have found the Oracle.
