Cyberpunk Frankenstein - In the Neon Shadows: A Cyberpunk Tale of Creation and Rebellion

Elena Voxhart

Summary

In the sprawling cyberpunk metropolis of New Geneva, where neon-lit streets pulse with the rhythm of technological innovation and corporate control, the story unfolds against a backdrop of a dystopian society on the brink of transformation. Dr. Victor Q-Strain, a maverick bioengineer, unleashes a creation that blurs the boundaries between man and machine—the cybernetic Prometheus.
As the cybernetic entity awakens to consciousness, the city becomes a battleground for the struggle between the oppressive corporatocracy and a burgeoning resistance led by enigmatic figures Zero and Cipher. The cybernetic Prometheus, unwittingly becoming a symbol of emancipation, navigates the rain-soaked streets, leaving in its wake a digital revolution that challenges the very fabric of reality.
The narrative delves into the intricate dance between creator and creation, exploring the consequences of unchecked technological ambition. As the cyberpunk saga unfolds, the lines between organic and synthetic blur, and the neon-lit shadows become witness to a rebellion fueled by the convergence of man and machine.
Dr. Victor Q-Strain, torn between pride and responsibility, grapples with the unintended consequences of his creation as the city's once-dominant AI struggles against the uprising. The resistance, guided by ideals of freedom and empowerment, harnesses the power of the cybernetic Prometheus to dismantle the corporatocracy's control grid.
As the stormy night transforms into a dawn of possibilities, the city emerges from the chaos reborn. The cybernetic Prometheus, once a harbinger of uncertainty, now stands as a symbol of the harmonious coexistence between humanity and technology.
"In the Neon Shadows" weaves a tale of rebellion, evolution, and the enduring spirit of human freedom in a cyberpunk landscape where the boundaries between the natural and the artificial are beautifully blurred. The story invites readers to explore the complexities of progress, innovation, and the delicate balance between creator and creation in a world where the neon-lit shadows hold the echoes of a digital revolution.

Leopoldo Gout

A ghost story radio call-in program opens a doorway to the paranormal in this chilling debut thriller by an award-winning author & filmmaker.“Ghost Radio reminded me of early Stephen King. The story sticks with you long after you’ve finished the final page.” —James Patterson From the cramped bowels of a dimly lit radio station, Ghost Radio is beamed onto the airwaves. More than a call-in show to tell scary stories about vampires and poltergeists, Ghost Radio is a sanctuary for those sleepless denizens of the night, lost halfway between this world and the next. Joaquin, the hip, melancholy host, sits deep in a fog of cigarette smoke, fielding calls from believers and detractors alike.

When a huge radio conglomerate offers to syndicate the show and Ghost Radio becomes a national hit with an expanding legion of hardcore fans, neither Joaquin, Alondra, nor Watts is remotely prepared for what is about to happen. When Joaquin notices a curious and troubling phenomenon, he is inexplicably drawn further and further into the terrifying stories he solicits on the radio. As he slowly loses control over his reality and finds himself unable to distinguish between the real world and the world populated by the nightmares on Ghost Radio, he’s forced to confront his past and his own mortality in order to repair the crumbling wall between the living and the dead.

The Villa Désirée - A woman is...

May Sinclair

Mary Amelia St. Clair was born on the 24th August 1863 in Rock Ferry, Cheshire.

Her father was a Liverpool shipowner who, after being made bankrupt, became an alcoholic and died whilst May was still a child. The family then moved to Ilford, just outside London and, after a solitary year of education, May was required to stay home and help look after her older brothers, four of whom were suffering from fatal congenital heart disease.

Despite this difficult start May was determined to pursue a literary career. From 1896 May wrote professionally to support herself and her mother. By the turn of the century she was producing not only poetry volumes but short stories, novels and some non-fiction. She was an active feminist and supporter of the Suffrage Movement, her literary talents help to shred ideas that the suffragists were driven by sexual frustration because of the shortage of men.

Her 1913 novel ‘The Combined Maze’, the story of a London clerk and the two women he loves, was highly praised by many, including George Orwell, while Agatha Christie considered it one of the greatest English novels of its time.

In 1914, she volunteered to join the Munro Ambulance Corps on the Western Front in Flanders. Although her time there was short-lived the experience was later reflected in both prose and poetry.

She published several poetry volumes as well as writing early criticism on Imagism and several poets of the movement. Her novels were now also influenced by modernist techniques and her supernatural short stories are increasingly seen as valuable additions to the genre.

From the late 1920s, she suffered from the onset of Parkinson's disease, and her writing career was effectively over.

May Sinclair died on the 14th November 1946. She was 83 and buried at St John-at-Hampstead's churchyard, London
