Sycamore

People are dying in the town of Sycamore. A string of grisly murders have shaken the quaint Canadian suburb, and the most recent crime scene might provide the first solid lead—despite an easily fatal amount of blood, the victim is nowhere to be found. Most people would steer clear of a crime scene this gory, but to Private Investigator Felix Renn a missing persons investigation comes as a pleasant surprise. After a few run-ins with "Black Lands entities," Felix has developed an unwanted reputation as a monster hunter, and in a world where paranormal has become the norm, the opportunity to get back to simple human crime is almost refreshing. In Sycamore, though, Felix will find that darkness isn't so easy to escape.

A riveting blend of supernatural horror and crime fiction, SYCAMORE is the debut novel by Ian Rogers and the world-at-large's introduction to the Black Lands universe. Set in an alternate-history Earth where portals to a monster-filled parallel dimension began appearing around the turn of the 20th century, SYCAMORE sets the stage for a world of stories centering the things that emerge from our worst nightmares.
