The Empty World is a 200K word darkly whimsical Fantasy novel, in the supernatural-protagonist tradition of The Sandman or The Vampire Chronicles, about a young daimon who watches over a muse after 'saving' her with a bottle of vampire blood and how they deal with the vampire who bottled that blood and its corrupting influence on the muse. Their story is a love-letter to Gothic subculture which explores issues of identity, agency, and accountability. [See extras at back of book for alternate pitches, blurbs, and summaries.] --- Rated 'M' for some references to substance abuse and scenes of drug use, a few explicit scenes of sexuality, occasional strong language, and vampire-related blood and violence. Warning: references to attempted suicide and 9/11. EDITING NOTICE: Book 1 of 2 is complete (through Ch 20) and in editing from Draft 2.5 to Draft 3. Book 2 of 2 is posted, but has some narrative gaps and is in editing from Draft 2/Draft 2.5 to Draft 3. NOTE: Draft 3 will be an *estimated* 150K-200K words when complete. SEQUENCE NOTICE: The Empty World was written after The Devil's Shadow, but is a macroquel, encompassing the timeline of the earlier work, and considered the anchor work of the sequence with tie-ins to several other works in its series. "Orchid" cover by author, incorporating illustrated elements used under CC0 license. See Extras at end of work for alternate covers.
