  • Party At The World's End

    James Curcio

    language (Mythos Media, Aug. 10, 2014)
    Take a mad ride past the event horizon of sanity with Lilith, Dionysus, and their band of Fallen Gods, in the final days of the American Empire. Party At The World's End is a subversive retelling of Euripides' The Bacchae in the age of anonymity and alternate identities.Book 1 of the Fallen Cycle: This is the story of those Fallen who walk amongst us, and hints of the world that is to come."After the fiasco at Rushmore, they knew there would be more bodies. But they joined the cause anyway. They stood up to the US Government and said "you've got to kill me in the sunlight." But Lilith said, "Do it under cover of moonlight." She wanted everyone to watch the bloodbath on Facetime, shaky footage of government-hired mercenaries lobbing mortar fire into the fallen nation's sons and daughters. Hundreds of teens strewn about like discarded dixie cups after a rave in a field, between two bluffs in the Black Hills. Curiously close to the death toll at Wounded Knee. I was wrong. They weren't just blind fools, they were the bloody sacrifice, offered up by Lilith in her mad ploy for immortality. But the time to fight and win was over, now was the time to die a hero's death that would be heard round the world. Even as the one candle goes out, another, darker one comes to light." --DionysusReviews:"Brutal, darkly funny, and, above all, honest." Powell's Books 'Short List'."A progressive fictional universe created by a wickedly talented scribe... Philip K Dick might have company someday..." Brooke Burgess, the Creator of award-winning animated series Broken Saints."Curcio's novels resemble strange and intricate life stories, bubbles of fiction floating in the depths of the collective subconscious. Occasionally they rise to the surface and burst into the conscious mind, releasing dreamscapes where fantasy merges with the mundane. Demigods cavort with goth-punk teenagers. Ambivalent authority figures lord over underground networks. Pseudo-shamanic rituals and sex magick abound." Reality Sandwich.com interview.

    "These Are the First Days, These Are the Final Days. The Children of Lilith Will Return."Take a mad ride past the event horizon of sanity with Lilith, Dionysus, and their band of Fallen gods in this mythpunk vision of an alternate near-past. This is the story of those Fallen who walk amongst us in the age of anonymity and alternate identities, and hints of the dark world that is to come. Are they on an ego trip, or do they really believe they're divine? Party At The World's End deals with the youthful rebellion of the rock and roll generation, juxtaposed with the social media cult of personality of today. Lola Parsons reinvents herself as Lilith. Alexi becomes Dionysus. Meredith becomes Jesus. They discover that a great deal of power can come with a stage name and a role, when it connects. Suddenly they're superstars of a different kind, chased by counter-terrorism units as America crumbles around them, and what began as little more than a prank turns a band into the ultimate symbol of death and rebirth.

    Owen Steinbeck was an awkward thirteen-year-old girl with ghostly backup...What could go wrong? I know some of you love reading short novellas. Here you go my awesome Children of Ankh series readers! Middle-Grade Novella number one. The novella itself is only 60 pages long. I've added a teaser to the first book in the main series, 'Sweet Sleep.' Happy Reading XOKim CormackOwen awoke to the sound of Darth Vader's rhythmic heavy breathing. A very cool birthday gift or so she’d thought at the time. It had easily taken her half of the night to fall asleep and it felt like only five minutes had elapsed since she’d managed to tune out the droning voices in her head and closed her eyes. No, no, no…I don’t want to get up. Owen misjudged her swing for the snooze button and yanked on the cord. Darth landed right on her face. It hurt like hell. She covered her eye as she wandered over to look at the damage in the mirror. That was going to leave a mark. When your morning starts with a black eye from Darth Vader, you just know the Sith is going to hit the fan. This day was going to suck.
