EXPECTED fall 2026
neon blood
A haunting and lyrical debut. Set in the Greenwich Village at the edge of the 1985, Neon Blood follows a city unraveling in the wake of brutal, ritualized killings. Drawn into the aftermath are artists, outsiders, and the lost, all circling a truth the city would rather keep buried.
