Neon Devilpunk - Code of the Damned
Lucian M. Crowe
Publisher: Twist & Tether Press
Summary
In the neon blur of a city that never stops moving, Ghost makes his living in shadows credits skimmed from corporations too bloated to notice. But when he uncovers a shard of forbidden black code, everything shifts. The voice inside doesn’t just whisper. It promises him everything he’s ever craved: power, wealth, survival. Ash still haunts him the partner he left behind in fire and smoke. Guilt claws at him, but the code coils tighter, bending his choices, guiding his hands across the keys. His friends warn it’s a trap. His reflection argues otherwise. And the city itself seems to pulse in rhythm with its voice. The deeper Ghost digs, the thinner the line between man and machine. Hours vanish. Memories split apart. Every breach feels less like a win and more like a signature on a contract he doesn’t remember signing. And still, the hunger grows. Now, standing on the edge of ruin or rebirth, Ghost must choose: is he shaping the code, or has he been its vessel all along? What if salvation and destruction run on the same line of code? *** And as this story closes, remember it is only one signature in the greater ledger of HELLSIGNATURE. Across boardrooms and parliaments, carnival tents and bloodstained courts, neon alleys and hidden networks someone waits with a contract ready. HELLSIGNATURE is a series of dark bargains, written in moments of fear, hunger, or reckless hope. Each tale reveals what happens when the fine print comes due and escape is no longer an option. Here, temptation wears many masks, but all of them hide decay. Every promise cuts deep, every victory carries a curse. No deal is clean. No pact is safe. Every signature bleeds more than ink.
