      Under the city something waits in the dark. It feeds on waste, debris and weakness and casts an ink black reflection of the corruption in the Mayor's office. Fat Tony Marsland plans his Expo and ignores the coming pandemic whilst Jason, a powerless failure, deserted and almost broken, falls in love with Jenny. Jenny is a thief. In 1347 Jani Beg lays seige to the city of Caffa before commiting an act that will bring the black death to the rest of the world. You can't fight the Rat King, if you don't kill it you are it.

      Victor Frankenstein's monster is stitched together from the stolen limbs of the dead, and the result is a grotesque being who, rejected by his maker, sets out on a journey to seek his revenge. In the most famous gothic horror story ever told, Shelley confronts the limitations of science, the nature of human cruelty and the pathway to forgiveness.

    • When the last great war came, a small group of survivors hid themselves below the fields of Kansas, living in a place of eternal twilight. *** Over time the energy surrounding the descendants of these survivors turned them into Duendes, ghost-like beings, never having seen real light or knowing anything of the conditions of the world beyond their underground enclosure. *** Six hundred years have passed since the war and now some Duendes want to leave the safety of their habitat and finally go 'above.' But what will they discover once they have emerged into the sunlight?
