“Like a puddle of blood in a back alley of New York City that  whispers to you of what could have been via a static-slathered Bluetooth  connection…” --Evan Dean Shelton, editor, writer

"... high, tight, crisp prose, provocative and often humorous metaphor.  Tempered with engaging detail and sharp intuition which tap into a  character or a place’s essence." --Peter Onelio for the Aither Review, February 2023

 When an epidemic of missing person cases is on  the rise, the police refuse to act. Instead, Alex Delatorre goes to  Thundertown for answers and finds clues leading to a new Lord trying to  unite the population.

No one has seen the Lord, and the closer Alex gets to him, the farther Alex gets from his path home.

"...as if Charles de Lint had had a nightmare visitation from China Miéville."
