Pushing back against the darkness —  (Well, someone's got to do it!) “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 Summary: New York City, 1883: the Gilded Age hums with progress and opulence, but beneath the gaslit streets, something dark awakens. John Bolridge is a spoiled 25 year old with no work ethic or discipline. That's about to change. An ancient, cosmic evil, long thought vanquished, seeks to create the chaos on which it sustains itself and devour our world. Its power is alien, its methods unfathomable, and its patience infinite. Humanity can't wait for John to mature. It needs its hero right now. 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 with threads of humor and romance.” Ten books currently planned in the series. Published : M, W, F at 11:04 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.
