And he's done! 84k, 34 chapters, and one epilogue down, the Anti-Empire Murder Train book is done.
This started as a bit of a spite project, a pushback against pro-imperial structures in fantasy, but I utterly fell in love with the story, with the journey of Seth and Laurence.

This is an adult space horror novel with a m/m second-chance romance. Set in a far future, Metropolis Down is a novel about grief, trauma, and redemption as the world descends into a cosmic horror nightmare. There are heavy content warnings for the book, which are available on the author’s website.

I'm so happy to be involved in the spectacular cover review for Metropolis Down, by @vesperdoom.com
It has been an absolute honour to watch this book come to life, and I can't wait for people to enjoy Jett and Eddie's story!

Seth opened his eyes. Laurence was coming towards him. Laurence, mounted on a dappled grey charger, his hair blowing in the wind. He looked majestic. Regal. Beautiful.

“You look amazing,” Seth said softly.
“As do you.” Laurence lifted Seth’s chin with two fingers and then kissed him. “There’s no one I’d rather commit treason with than you.”
Seth kissed him back. “You say the sweetest things.”

Everyone should be disgusted by this. EHRC are saying that if you don't meet someone's standard of "woman" you can be openly harassed and forced out of public spaces. @teamlabouruk.bsky.social this is impossible to implement, and will cause harm to women both cis and trans.

Another fantastic book finished. I genuinely didn’t want to put this down.
Very much recommend if you enjoy wholesome but dark queer fantasy.
The character progression was so good.
Looking forward to more books by @wordsofrablack.bsky.social
