BEYOND THE HALLOWED SKY

Note to self

ABSYNTHE

Are you familiar with Decopunk? It’s like steampunk but set in the 1920s. Think The Great Gatsby meets Metropolis. Or the original BioShock, depending on brow height. This is the setting for Absynthe, an alternate roaring ’20s of flappers and exoskeleton battle suits, speakeasies and “mechanikal” men.

FORGING A NIGHTMARE

Ticking all the standard urban fantasy boxes – murder, detection, supernatural beings (in this case, angels and nephilim – half-angels), a bit of glamour and a smattering of romance – two things really set Forging A Nightmare apart. One is the majority-black cast of characters, welcome and overdue. The other: horses.
