Percy Jackson meets William Gibson in this thrilling world of Myth, Gods and Tech.
What happens when a corporation gets a god complex? Find out in our series of books. Described as light cyberpunk, definitely sci-fi and with a fresh twist on Greek mythology.

The gods are back in town. Skyscrapers pop out of nowhere all over Athens. Corporations rename themselves as Greek gods. It all started with the Greek crisis of 2009 and will forever change the world as we know it.
Some say that CEO's have gone mad. Others, that they know damn well what they are doing. That there is something solid amongst the myth.

In the day of inter-connectivity and social media admiration, can the myths come back to life?

Moby Dick

Herman Melville

Moby-Dick is a novel by Herman Melville, in which an eerily compelling madman is pursuing an unholy war against a creature as vast and dangerous and unknowable as the sea itself. But more than just a novel of adventure, more than an encyclopedia of whaling lore and legend, Moby-Dick is a haunting, mesmerizing, and important social commentary populated with several of the most unforgettable and enduring characters in literature. Written with wonderfully redemptive humor, Moby-Dick is a profound and timeless inquiry into character, faith, and the nature of perception.

Cheeky Bloody Articles

Cathleen Davies

Acid trips, terrorists, and one hundred birthday candles. Icy baths, burning bodies, and everything in between.
This thought provoking debut short story collection from Cathleen Davies pulls no punches.

Oliver Twist

Charles Dickens

The story of Oliver Twist - orphaned, and set upon by evil and adversity from his first breath - shocked readers when it was published. After running away from the workhouse and pompous beadle Mr Bumble, Oliver finds himself lured into a den of thieves peopled by vivid and memorable characters - the Artful Dodger, vicious burglar Bill Sikes, his dog Bull's Eye, and prostitute Nancy, all watched over by cunning master-thief Fagin. Combining elements of Gothic Romance, the Newgate Novel and popular melodrama, Dickens created an entirely new kind of fiction, scathing in its indictment of a cruel society, and pervaded by an unforgettable sense of threat and mystery.
