Michael Mancino
I've had vivid dreams and supernatural experiences my entire life. As a former Army medic who deployed to Iraq, worked executive protection, and spent nearly a decade investigating financial crimes, I've seen enough of the world to know that darkness—both human and otherwise—is real.
My work is grounded in technical accuracy, born from years of experience in counter-surveillance, tactical medicine, and high-stakes investigations. I draw on a lifetime of martial arts training to bring a terrifying level of tactical realism to the page.
Why I Write
Broken Creed is my way of processing the experiences that are difficult to understand.
Some of what happens to Jonah Creed happened to me. The Hell tour. The possession attempt. The feeling of being marked by something you can't see and can't escape. I wrote this to process those experiences, and it was as difficult to write as it may be for some to read.
My goal isn't shock value—it's to give readers a glimpse of what true malevolence feels like. This is grounded supernatural horror built on real experience, real trauma, and real darkness.
