Introduction

Thank you for taking the time to visit this page. The entries that follow are excerpts from CRUCIFER, a science fiction/horror novel with a Noir atmosphere, and suffused with dark eroticism. Warning: the content is intended for adults. Your comments are welcome and appreciated.

The novel is represented by FinePrint Literary Management.

Here's the short version of the synopsis:

The year is 2268, The City of Angels.  Peter Romito, a hustler addicted to Slam, is hunted by the Priest who murdered his fiancée.  The Priest carves out his victims’ hearts as sin offerings, and the last one he needs beats in Peter’s chest.   Plagued by drug-fuelled visions of an alien world, and haunted by the ghosts of the murdered prostitutes, Peter flees to a colony of sentient machines.  The Biomechs, undead hybrids of machine and flesh, are at once sublimely beautiful and grotesque.  They welcome Peter and embrace him as their messiah. All they ask is that he die for their sins.
