About Talyn Media

Talyn Media didn’t take the scenic route to publishing. We took a twelve-year detour.

For a long stretch, our founder, Grover Bentley, built audiences the hard way: live, unscripted, in real time, in front of a camera. Streaming taught him something most writers never get to learn: how to hold a room, read a crowd, and tell a story that keeps people from clicking away. But underneath all of it, there was always a book he hadn’t written yet. Talyn Media is where that finally came home.

Talyn Media is an independent publishing company built for dark speculative fiction, post-apocalyptic horror, reimagined mythology, and survival stories with real teeth. No manufactured content, no safe endings… just lived-in worlds, lethal stakes, and the kind of mature, atmospheric horror that respects a reader’s intelligence.

Our first world is The Citadel Protocol: Set in a ruined Detroit, a vampire species engineered the apocalypse, collapsing civilization to herd the last of humanity into its Citadel Cities. It’s the opening move in a connected universe we’re building one book at a time, for readers who came up on The Passage, The Strain, and The Walking Dead and have been waiting for something that hits that hard again.

The twelve-year gap wasn’t wasted. It was the pressure that made these stories worth telling.

Welcome to Talyn Media. Pull up a chair; the world’s already ending.
