The Lunarian [Classic Horror, Steampunk, Monster Hunter, Historical Fantasy in the Gilded/Victorian Age]

by Eric Gordon March

AdventureAnti-Hero LeadFantasyHorrorMale Lead

Some monsters slumber in ancient tombs. Some come from the stars. In New York City, 1883, the heart of the Gilded Age, something is awakening them. Who stands in their way? Enter the Vigilants, a plucky team of gifted misfits. But their leader is a pampered young man who hasn't worked a day in his life. Can he become a  responsible adult in time to save the Earth? With the help of his comrades, he just might. Humanity can't wait for him to mature; it needs its hero right now. Fate has fallen on unprepared shoulders. We hope she has chosen wisely. There is plenty to doubt. “In terms of subjective entertainment, this is a genuine 5/5 ... This is the first story I've found on RR that's anything like this.” Genre: Historical Fantasy • Urban Fantasy • Classic Horror • Thriller • Steampunk • Monster Hunter • Cthulhu • Ancient Mythologies What to Expect: Mummies, Vampires, Ghouls, Biblical Mythology and World Mythology, Cthulhu, Necromancers, Alien Terrors, Advanced Technologies, at least one Lich King, and Apocalyptic Threats Themes & Appeal: Classic Gothic horror meets urban fantasy with cosmic, alien terror, steampunk and arcane elements with well developed threads of romance and intelligent humor. Who’s it For: Perfect for readers of Lovecraft, Jules Verne, Jane Austen, Arthur Conan Doyle, Edgar Rice Burroughs, Penny Dreadfuls, and dark Victorian mysteries. “A dark, gothic, adult Mystery, Inc. written by H.P Lovecraft starring a Victorian era Shadow with a Doc Savage rhythm and threads of humor and romance.” Ten books currently planned for the series. Published : M, W, F at 10:04 a.m. CDT (UTC -5) Notice: This book uses AI art in the form of 1880s daguerreotype style photographs as chapter illustrations. None of the written content has been created or assisted by AI in any way, shape, or form.
