Claire, Darling

by Callie Kazumi
Claire, Darling by Callie Kazumi
Unrated

She’s been ghosted. But she won’t be forgotten.

Claire is excited to drop off a surprise workday lunch for her fiancé, Noah. It’s their anniversary, after all. But when the receptionist tells her that no one with Noah’s name works there, Claire thinks there must be a mistake.

Noah isn’t picking up her calls. Her texts go unanswered. It turns out Noah has a different life . . . one with a beautiful girlfriend, a beautiful house. Claire was never really in the picture.

Desperate to speak to Noah and convince him to return to their dream life, Claire plunges into a nightmarish journey of obsession that submerges her deeper into the murky waters of her own past—a past dominated by a manipulative mother who shattered her sense of self.

Will Claire break free from the ghosts that haunt her? Or will they become more costly than any of Noah’s lies?

Callie Kazumi

Callie Kazumi isn’t here to follow the rules—she’s here to bend them into strange, glittering shapes.

A newer voice in the dark fantasy and paranormal romance space, Kazumi crafts stories where shadows stretch long and love rarely comes without blood. Her debut series, The Wicked Kin, pulls readers into a world of dangerous magic, eerie folklore, and morally ambiguous monsters you can’t help but crave. It's a place where the line between salvation and damnation blurs—and Kazumi seems most at home walking that line barefoot.

Though she keeps much of her personal life tucked away behind the pages, readers quickly sense the weight of her influences: mythic tales told in hushed tones, the ache of old fairytales retold with teeth, and the magnetic pull of forbidden desire. Her prose is sharp, evocative, and unafraid to linger in the dark—perfect for fans who come for the fantasy but stay for the emotional ruin.

Callie Kazumi may be new to the bookshelf, but her stories already whisper like secrets meant only for those brave enough to listen. As her readership grows, so too does the eerie hum of a writer beginning to carve out a space uniquely her own in indie fantasy.
