The Techno Cult Genre

The emerging of the techno cult genre was this author's climb from the goth fairytale merging of science fiction to a sort of techno pantheistic reality. Imagine the aftermath of a world destroyed by the power of a life-taking energy force (DOr - deadly or gone energy, coined by Wilhelmina Reich). See yourself gliding elegantly in your phantasmagoric form over the graveyard earth, wherein all is gray, and crow like shades pick at the bone cobbled streets. 

This is the beginning of Gothocracy. And it is what had first given new life into a genre of techno cult fantasy, which then manifested in this writer's later works, The God Gun, and The Cul de Sac Lady. 

In essence, the masses had died off during a global pandemic, of a cause seemingly supernatural. What remains are those of an elite group of sorcerers, who are transformed into super beings by the infamous DOr energy via a machine called the Zodiacron. As an effort to build a new species, the ministry of resurrection brings select bodies back from the grave, and creates a small populace, What the populace is ignorant of is their immortality, for they are all in essence Frankenstein's monsters. Succeeding in some degree of civility, the ministry advances their reach of power by drawing more DOr to earth, but eventually instability of the old laws of science catch up with the ministers of the damned. 




Bring On October! Gothocracy is Back!

In my anxiety for the scary month of Halloween to arrive, I've reopened my now ancient blog of dark fantasy.

Gothocracy is the acronym for gothic autocracy. From a bird's eye perspective the entire series of books on the subject of Gothocracy point to a single perspective of truth. That truth would be the peace that is found in the silence of the world, and yet the everlasting strife of man persisting as long as there be breath within him.

In the creation of the series of Gothocracy (originally intended to be one book) this writer was concerned with bridging together a few conflicting genres. Namely, fairy-tale style gothic flavor with fantasy and science fiction storytelling.

While the stories were first conceptualized on this writer's Windows 3.0 computer back in the year of 1995, the actual publication of the story version of Gothocracy (and not the poetry and prose version which was published much, much earlier) did not arrive in the ebook market until early 2000.

For all books associated with the Gothocracy fantasy world, please read...

The first publication of a short story and book of prose and poetry was published by Red Lead Press. Later, a full 99 page story was published by eBookMall.com. It was in the mid 2000's that the Gothocracy found its home on Amazone Kindle under the name The Gothocracy Chronicles: The Ministry of Resurrection. This book was later continued in a second publication titled, Zodiacron. And much later still, the story was revised in part as a free online book called, Babeldel or Gothocracy III, and was written in screen style - Just for fun.

Since then, Gothocracy has had a few offshoots like The God Gun, which this writer published on Amazon Kindle some years after it being online as a free short story. There are also some other inspired works including, The Cul De Sac Lady, All Roads Lead to R.O.M., and the Clarity Story: A Lonely Capsule.
