“If Blade Runner met MTV circa 1985 and had a defiant child, it would be Cogs in a Neon Globe: A Cyberpunk Noir Collection by Anthony M. Caro.”
Cogs in a Neon Globe Delivers for Cyberpunk and Giallo Fans
In the follow-up to his acclaimed horror collection, Dreaded Invocations: Terrifying Horror Tales to Utter in Hushed Tones, author Anthony M. Caro presents genre-blending madness in Cogs in a Neon Globe: A Cyberpunk Noir Collection.
“Dolly Jolly Discovers Red-Stitched Gloves are for Killing” evokes classic Italian horror in its neo-tech nightmarish dreamscape.
True to the collection’s eclectic tone, the futuristic horror tale features Dolly Jolly, a cybernetic courtesan, searching for a fedora-donning, glove-wearing killer of Love Dolls in the seedy underbelly of the retro-futuristic domed city. Can she find the murderer while on the outs with the syndicate that pulls the globe’s strings? The tale combines 1970s Italian exploitation and giallo tropes with futuristic elements.
Available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and paperback: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0F9F3SCDB
Eclectic, Esoteric Tech Noir Tales
Cogs in a Neon Globe presents avant-garde, new wave-style cerebral and violent science fiction.
“Why is Cal Drawing Stick Figures at 3 AM in the 22nd Century?” delivers a paranoid character study about an obsessive-compulsive pill-popper who performs surveillance duties for the syndicate in his claustrophobic, soul-crushing hideaway.
“I Go With You” reveals an introspective, action-oriented, fatalistic adventure that weaves martial arts, conspiracies, assassinations, and the wildness of old-time men’s adventure paperbacks into a cyberpunk world.
Cogs in a Neon Globe Hits Top New Release Rankings
Shortly after publication, Cogs in a Neon Globe hit high marks on Amazon’s New Release Category Charts, including #6 on Crime & Mystery Science Fiction and #9 on Cyberpunk Science Fiction.
“Gritty. Weird. Wired.”
Cogs in a Neon Globe is not your typical sci-fi collection. A world of urban blight where the last sparks of transgressive rebellion still burn. (For now.)
