Imagine a world just like yours with one startling difference: every creature of legend has stepped forward from the shadow and now exists shoulder to shoulder with humankind! Welcome to the Magic Now! New York city has become a macabre melting pot. Vampires, werewolves, zombies and ghouls are now the new immigrants and they are chasing the American dream. Many think the monsters are dangerous, supernatural time bombs, while others exploit them for lust and profit.
The saga unfurled its wings in 2014 with the inaugural volume, “Heroin in the Magic Now.” A chilling meditation on addiction and artistic agony, it served as the seed of malevolence from which the rest of the series has gloriously mutated. The follow-up books shifted gears, reveling in dark fantasy as various monstrous factions vie for nocturnal supremacy—and the fate of the world.
The entrancing series lineup includes:
“Heroin in the Magic Now”
“Dracula vs Frankenstein”
“Undead & Kicking”
“Nowhere to Hyde”
“Baker: Demons & other Night Things”
“Badge of the Dead”
Fasten your seatbelts, because a spine-tingling finale, “The Horde Frequency,” is lurking in the shadows. A forthcoming Indiegogo campaign promises not just the opportunity to back this unsettling opus but also to snag some perks that are—to put it mildly—otherworldly.
Tempted? The Night Things are waiting. And so is the darkness.
