CARVED — Queer Modern Moorland Gothic

Carved, John Roman Baker’s gothic tale of queer desire on the North Yorkshire Moors, is now available as an ebook via Kindle.

Previously published only in the paperback volume Disarranged (3 Fictions), Carved now steps out on its own — windswept, atmospheric, and wildly erotic.

Two men. A shared obsession. A landscape that never forgets.

Set on the North Yorkshire Moors, Carved follows Edmond, a man seeking spiritual solitude in a stone house on the edge of a forest. His quiet world is disrupted when he meets Kollin — wild, unpredictable, and as untamed as the moors themselves.

Their connection draws Edmond into the shadowed world of Echomoor, a rundown farm dominated by Kollin’s brother, Karl, and the shifting mounds of Howl Moor. In this ancient, rugged landscape, desire carries heavy consequences.

A haunting exploration of queer longing, Carved is a modern Gothic that lingers long after the final page
