Hello all!
I published my first novel a while back and now its on audio. I truly think this is the best way to experience this story.
I tried to channel not just Lovecraft, but Barron, John Carpenter, and my own personal experiences. As well as Gundam and Pacific Rim style Sci-fi action.
When I was a child I wasnt introduced to religion until 7ish, and it was at a non-denominational back woods church that beleived everyone who didn't go to that church was possessed or at least influenced by demons and the devil.
They told us the battle for heaven and earth was near and God was going to cleanse the earth of all sinners, the possessed and unbelievers. God had failed once before, and thats why the Earth is the way it is. People with demon blood were common and had to be purified. They were also the ones in power.
When I talked to anyone that wasn't at that church about it, they thought I was crazy. I felt like I had this secret knowledge that everyone else was ignorant to. The world was going to end, there was going to be a battle for our souls and demons were going to run in the streets eating babies and raping women. Impregnating them with a generstion of half demon leaders.(Actual quote.)
If god didnt have enough people in his holy army his job wouldnt be done and the bastard half demon children would continue to rule the earth.
I was paranoid that I was going to be possessed that my parents and teachers were possessed. This culminated to one day I had real bad pink eye and thought I had been possessed and couldn't see because a demon was looking out through my eyes.
My brother eventually talked me out of it, but that paranoia and fear persisted for years and I wondered if they were right.
That was my first brush with cosmic horror and it heavily influenced this story.
So there is more than just monsters, and mecha mayhem in this story, there is an overarching sense of dread and fear.
The Howling between Worlds.
Horrors await above three Utopian cities protected by the inhuman Ronin, pilots of powerful weapons, dedicated to guarding the cities against the eldritch monsters.
Nearly four hundred years have passed and the survivors are complacent in their underground cities. That changes when a Ronin enters the city of Gomorrah with a warning of something that could erase the last bastion of humanity
