Rick D. Molchan — Horror & Science Fiction - The Resolute Nocturne Insight Imprint

Rick D. Molchan writes and publishes under the Horror and Science Fiction Resolute Nocturne Insight imprint, delivering dark, character-driven stories that blend supernatural dread, psychological tension, and speculative imagination. A lifelong fan of classic horror, pulp sci-fi, EC-style anthologies, and the unsettling “what-if” questions that live in the shadows, Rick’s work explores the fragile boundary between reality and nightmare. His stories often center on ordinary people confronting extraordinary terror—ancient forces, cursed places, moral collapse, or the terrifying consequences of human ambition.

Beyond writing, Rick is deeply involved in the visual and creative direction of his projects, collaborating with artists, designing immersive worlds, and building interconnected mythologies across multiple titles. His passion for horror is not just about scares—it’s about atmosphere, consequence, and the lingering unease that remains long after the final page.
