Decopunk Stories

The Age of Brass is a delve into the retrofuturistic, decopunk world of political strife told through the eyes of a graduate student of the arts, Cherith, and her friends Alfred, William, and Walter. Centered on a fictional Earth's central landmass, "The Continent", the trio must fight their own social and political battles, as well as team together to seam a fractured world through the rejection of human ambition and feckless progress. Using strategy and smarts, the group must immerse themselves in the wretched underside of the seemingly surreal art-deco cities on the Continent, in attempt to secure true prosperity for the immaculate world they desire to love.

Dieselpunk Epulp Showcase Includes stories by John Picha, Grant Gardiner, Bard Constantine, Jack Philpott. This action-packed ePulp Anthology unleashes four new noir tales inspired by the pulp magazines of the 1930s and 1940s. Blazing brawls and gritty adventure awaits dieselpunks, nostalgians, die hard or pulp-curious fans. Hope you can take a punch, because these two-fisted tales hit hard! For young hoods, the Aether Age streets of mob-plagued Chicago present a world of opportunity. And Mack and Mickey are headed straight for the top in "That Sort of World: a Tale of the Aether Age." It's class-warfare in Citadel City as Pandora Driver and her Car of Tomorrow deliver rough justice to the elites and a douche named the Gooch in "Who are the People in your Neighborhood?" "The Wise Man Says" introduces Mick Trubble: a hard drinking, chain smoking charmer who bites off more than he can chew... then chews like hell. The Troubleshooter takes the grit and slang of a hardboiled detective and drops it in a dystopian setting that mixes Fedoras, trench coats, flying cars and android policemen. The dirty streets of Roanoketown were his home and his only family. Until he met HER. Now he'll follow HER into hell, tamahaak held high, and fight as a proud Indian against the Anglo Oppressors. He'll wager his life to be a true "A Friend of Spirits." Download if you dare!

Day 1 of his new career seems to be taking a severe turn for the odd... and then there's Bob...

This is another in-world song from Willington, sung by the burlesque dancers The Danzinger Sisters at the Déjà vu club in my novel RedShell. It is a rhythmic jazz tune that fits perfectly into a 1920s cabaret. If you like these characters, you can find more information about them on my World Anvil, links on my Ing.

These may not appear in chronological order, and may over time re-feature the protagonist from the first piece. Take a taste. See how you like it. Welcome to alternate history.
