Combines the dark mythology of fantasy with the dangerous social commentary of Hunter S. Thompson into a masterpiece of the genre. -- Metastellar Magazine
In the fog-shrouded streets of San Francisco the fates draw together River, a gifted baker whose treats can heal broken hearts, and Pamela, a mysterious waitress with an impossible secret. Their future is threatened by Gabriel, an ethereally deadly stranger whose crystal jewelry lures the city's immortals to their doom.
When a series of mysterious deaths rocks the Castro district, the city is gripped by fear. Bodies are found drained of blood, bearing strange marks that defy explanation.
River's quest to understand these murders leads him to discover an underground network of immortal beings, ancient Gods, and Lenni Lenape ghosts, lurking just beneath the city's surface.
After Pamela vanishes, following a fateful encounter with Gabriel, River must navigate this dangerous new reality where nothing is as it seems. His journey will take him from the redwood-shadowed hills of Marin to the neon-lit streets of the Tenderloin, from underground morgues to forgotten tunnels beneath the city. With only his faithful crow Huck and the ghost of his uncle Ryo to guide him, River must confront shocking truths about love, mortality, and the thin line between predator and prey.
Weaving together Greek mythology, San Francisco history, and supernatural romance, Gods and Monsters is a haunting tale of eternal love, devastating choices, and the price of immortality.
This sweeping urban fantasy explores what it means to be human in a world where humanity itself may be optional. It's a tale of impossible choices, undying love, and the eternal question of whether we control our destiny.
