Take a mad ride past the event horizon of sanity with Lilith, Dionysus, and their band Babylon in this Myth-punk vision of an alternate universe where 2012 went quite differently. This is the story of those Fallen who walk amongst us in the age of Anonymity and alternate identities, and hints of the dark world that is to come.
As Lilith and her band of miscreants transcend from escaped convicts to superstars of a different kind, they grapple with the intoxication of influence. Are they on an ego trip, or do they truly believe they are the reincarnated avatars of immortal entities? With great power comes great danger, and they soon find themselves chased by counter-terrorism units as America begins to crumble around them, and what began as little more than a prank turns a band into the ultimate symbol of death and rebirth.
With a style that is a compelling blend of Morrison's psychedelic storytelling and Thompson's hilarious gonzo flair, this first foray into the myth-punk world of the Fallen Cycle will make readers think they've taken hallucinogens themselves, as they join the protagonists in navigating the treacherous line between chaos and control.
- Brutal, darkly funny, and, above all, honest. Powell's Books 'Short List'.
- A progressive fictional universe created by a wickedly talented scribe... Philip K Dick might have company someday... Brooke Burgess, the Creator of award-winning animated series Broken Saints.
- Curcio's novels resemble strange and intricate life stories, bubbles of fiction floating in the depths of the collective subconscious. Occasionally they rise to the surface and burst into the conscious mind, releasing dreamscapes where fantasy merges with the mundane. Demigods cavort with goth-punk teenagers. Ambivalent authority figures lord over underground networks. Pseudo-shamanic rituals and sex magick abound. Reality Sandwich.com interview.
